[Freedos-user] OpenGEM 6 is coming (get a testing copy right now!)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Boys and girls I'm very glad to announce OpenGEM 6 is (finally) about to be released. As you know OpenGEM is intended to provide a great GUI file manager for FreeDOS. Over the years we've made some real advances in usability and stability. John Elliott of the FreeGEM community has introduced a lot of really great code. His desktop has already brought new life to GEM and has been highly successful in OpenGEM 5. John has continued coding and OpenGEM 6 sees a great new advance: we now have support for the DOS international code page. This will greatly simplify any attempts to create international versions of OpenGEM. John Hupp has contributed a great deal of time and energy in the testing and deployment of new printing support for OpenGEM 6. We now support HP Deskjet+, Deskjet 560C, and Deskjet 612C printers. Other HP Deskjets might also work. You'll notice the new printer support when you open the GEM Output application. You'll also notice that we support postscript printing out-of-the-box. OpenGEM 6 is intended to provide a really great GUI for FreeDOS 1.0. This means we're looking at a long future for this particular release. It's therefore essential that OpenGEM 6 can be patched and updated easily. There is a new automatic install and update system to ensure this is possible. While OpenGEM 6 is opening it will look for either INSTALL.ZIP or UPDATE.ZIP files in the C:\ root. If it detects one of these files it will offer to update or install the system accordingly. This new framework will allow for the easy installation not only of system updates but also GEM applications. It is currently being documented for the OpenGEM website. Talking of the website...there is a new OpenGEM website coming. It will be at http://gem.opendawn.com. It's going to be simple, clear and will be created in XHTML. OpenGEM 6 will be released on the 14th of July. Please help make sure everything works by downloading and testing a copy of the system from http://www.opendawn.com/opengem6.zip. This download is around 2MB in size. The reason for the increase in size? Full support for different sound, video and printer drivers, different desk accessories and a system recovery option in case OpenGEM stops working. If you download the test version of OpenGEM 6 just drag and drop the files inside to your C:\ root (or - if you're using a command line - recursively unpack the files to your C:\ root). GEM at the C:\> prompt will start OpenGEM 6. SETUP at the C:\> prompt will bring you to the OpenGEM 6 setup options. If you need to load drivers or are having difficulty starting OpenGEM look inside the C:\GEM.BAT file. Perhaps you need to uncomment some options to ensure everything will load correctly.
