The point is that GEM and VDI are not: they are acually libraries. It's still not clear to me whether they are in ROM on the ST or linked in with every application, but, regardless, OS/9 should be able to talk to these libraries. Theoretically code linked to access GEM/VDI (if such libraries existed) would still run if the program were run under TOS. The I/O, on the other hand, is more troublesome. I wasn't totally serious in asking such a thing, just wishful thinking. -Eric
