Hi Peter,

ASo you make the same failure people made in the early time of Atari
computers: working around GEM and wondering why your good software
makes problems on other machines. And then spend much time to make
the software run on other machines.

I expected more work in improve the software to a real GEM compliant
software than start from the beginning with a GEM compliant software.

Best regards
