Hello all

Some news for people who are waiting for the next major release of OpenGEM.

"Huh?" Some people scratch their head.  "Are you talking about the new
multi-tasking OpenGEM/XM experimental code?"

No.  I'm not.  The experimental OpenGEM/XM code is experimental.  It's
not going to be ready for general use for a while.  The next major
release of OpenGEM will be single-tasking, and will be building on
OpenGEM 5.  In other words, it'll be small, stable, and designed for
easy use.

OpenGEM 6 will bring some new features to the OpenGEM world.  It's going
to have support for HP deskjet printers and postscript printers
"out-of-the-box", and work is underway to introduce a new package
management system to make it easy to install and remove GEM applications.

The newest development version of OpenGEM 6 is now online here:
http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/downloads/OpenGEM6Dev2.zip

It will be active at this link for at least seven days (until 20:00 GMT,
March 20th).

It has one big change from previous OpenGEM versions.  There is a highly
experimental new feature to put OpenGEM into only one folder on your C:\
drive.  To do this, you get one folder (OPENGEM) and one file (GEM.BAT)
in your C:\ root.  When you run GEM.BAT it SUBSTs the OPENGEM folder to
the imaginary drive O:.  This feature may or may not make it into the
final shipping version.  Testing and feedback is requested.

Regards

Shane
