It's been a few days since the last comment on this thread, so I think those who have an opinion on this have voiced it. The consensus appears to be "Keep OpenGEM but drop oZone and SEAL" so let's remove oZone and SEAL in the next monthly test release. (These will not be removed from Ibiblio, so

Quite frankly, I would throw them all on the scrap heap. As Jim said, none of them has any number of apps worth noting and there is a reason why no GUI other than Windows 3.11 ever took off under Dos. I know that from painful experience of wasting two years on an attempt to create one in the early
