Yes, Deposite Pirate:

pretty sure this is some ugly workaround by whoever maintained OpenGEM. The
location of GEM
directories such as GEMAPPS and GEMSYS and so on was however somewhat hardcoded.
I kept getting CHDIR errors about GEMAPPS\GEMSYS. And these were

Haha, and you think we live at the zenith of technical evolution?

Hi Tomas,
if you want to use DOS directories to be visible as drives,
if your install program refuses to open subdirectories, you
can indeed explore ASSIGN and its relatives:

It's not FreeDOS' fault; it's programmers' fault. I mean the one,
Hi all,
If I have a PC with Freedos as OS, and a USB drive with a series of

Well, Dennis:
Out of curiosity, how much confusion might have been avoided if you
had placed the OpenGEM directory where the code assumed it would be?
I suppose it would work right.
(And why *didn't* you place it there?)

Correction: it's the SETUP labyrinth that I've been documenting for
myself. It still doesn't work (say colourising the GEM window). But I'm
finding my way around the modules, and correcting the jump-to locations.

I have been editing the OpenGEM code. It's a dog's breakfast! First it
assumes that I didn't put the OpenGEM directory where I did. Then it
cross-references jumps between batch files in an opaque way. And the
writes to screen do not say where you are in this maze!
