You're welcome Carlos!  OpenGEM GUI has been under development now since
late 2001, and we've been focusing strongly on FreeDOS since around
mid-2002.  With OpenGEM 4 we finally got a GUI framework that was around
the level of commerical stability, and Project Liberation is building on
that.  Hopefully by the time it's out of beta, we'll have an
exceptionally strong GUI for FreeDOS.

Many people deserve thanks for what's happening in OpenGEM now.  John
Elliott, who has programmed all the new stuff.  Thorsten Franke, who
made the German translation for OpenGEM 4.  Blair Campbell, who did the
testing needed to get Project Liberation released.  And many more!

You can find out more about Project Liberation at

 Hello all.  A big announcement for the FreeDOS world:

 When GEM first arrived on the PC it caused a revolution. It was simple,
 quick, and easy-to-use. Now it's time for another revolution. OpenGEM is
 about to turn the DOS GUI world upsidedown. There is a new member of the
 OpenGEM family. We'd like to introduce Project Liberation, based on the
 software behind OpenGEM Experimental.

 Project Liberation is a whole new type of OpenGEM, and it's such a leap
 forward it'll blow your socks off.

 Project Liberation has a new 3D interface, with a neat modern pointer
 set, a beautiful new default system font, and cool new icons. It will
 automatically detect the disk drives on your machine, and neatly display
 them on it's desktop.  It'll even happily show the contents of all the
 common text file formats through it's nifty internal viewer.

 And let's not forget that it can run DOS applications simply by
 double-clicking them. It's all so simple.

 It looks better than OpenGEM ever did before. It is better than OpenGEM
 ever was before. And it's just as reliable as OpenGEM always has been.

 Oh, and did we mention that it's 100% DR GEM, FreeGEM and OpenGEM
 compatible? Not many GNU GPL projects can boast that kind of
 compatibility. It even makes old GEM applications look better.

 Project Liberation is still beta software. We're making sure everything
 works before we start shipping it as a completed product. But you can
 download it right now from the OpenGEM website.

 Get with the Beta program! Download Project Liberation now! You can see
 screenshots or download the Beta from
 http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/projectliberation.htm

 This software will eventually become OpenGEM 5, though we'll test it
 carefully before it's final release as a product.  If you want a stable,
 updatable GUI you should still use OpenGEM 4, and wait for Project
 Liberation to mature.

 Regards

 Shane
