But any GEM application can use EMS or XMS to get more memory. > - It is not LFN aware Not true! GEM applications is not LFN aware, not GEM itself. GEM does not have filesystem API, GEM applications use Int21h to access filesystem. Any developer, if he wants, can add LFN support to any GEM application. Another limitation of GEM is that it have only monochrome, 4-color and 16-color graphics drivers. And AFAIK, for VESA SuperVGA there is only 800x600 driver.
