thanks, that sounds about right as I have not had a chance to install GEM (any version) yet on my test computer so I haven't tracked down the issue yet good to know the usual programs run > >> If anyone else wants to test GEM compatibility, I would suggest >> downloading the OpenGEM SDK from Sourceforge and running GEM 2 (same >> internals as XM) or XM itself in a debugger (perhaps Japheth's 16bit DPMI >> one,to debug the kernel). > > Please give more exact instructions...

OpenGEM variant of FreeGEM (http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/) provides the GEM/XM (multitasking variant) http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/downloads/OpenGEMXM.zip and the OpenGEM SDK (link on main page, basically all the stuff needed to run and build programs for GEM including full source). From what I've read, GEM/XM was a branch of GEM v2, so both use FCBs. > > Other interesting debuggers: 386SWAT, Dosemu dosdebug, the Bochs > built-in debugger.
