On yet another environment front, is there something that will "modify"
GEM or otherwise provide a default font other than the standard?  I'd
like Emacs 3.10, GEM text windows (read Gulam), etc to have a nice, read-
able, eye saving font.  The editor for Turbo-C (and in general) has many
font's that it uses and while not perfect on a color monitor - they are
quite pleasing.

The only things I can think of is perhaps G*Dos (but I'm a new guy and
wouldn't know about this yet).

Having written my first TOS/MIDI program, I got burned in a big way (okay,
it was only 2/3 of an hour) by trying to find out why fopen(..., "r") wouldn't
read my data files (unsigned ascii).  Seems that fopen(..., "rb") is the
answer (for TC).  Live and learn (it ain't unix). :-).
