I  to  am  having  problems with AMCGDOS and GDOS. If I boot my system
with AMCGDOS then GEMINI works fine but  other  applications  such  as
TIMEWORKS moan about not being able to find font files after rebooting
with their assign.sys. If I use GDOS 1.1 all my applications work fine
but  when  booting  with  gemini's assign.sys all the additional fonts
gemini.fnt,courier.fnt,... apear as garbage.

Has  anybody  got any ideas? I thought AMCGDOS and GDOS where supposed
to be compatible. Would G++ solve the problem?
