Today the sources of GEM/3 v3.13 for IBM PC were released
under GPL and available for download, see

http://www.devili.iki.fi/cpm/gemworld.html

The Graphics Environment Manager was a simple,
but nice GUI for PC ( with 2 floppies 
and 512 KB RAM at least ) and for the Atari ST. 
Wouldn�t it be a good idea to do a port to elks ? 
To have the same GUI for DOS, ELKS and the Atari ST
would be a plus.
