Since GEM is designed to be very portable, this would seem to be a 
pretty reasonable statement.  All anyone would have to do is buy the
GEM OEM version for the 68000 and do a port.

A port would probably have to include disk routines to read ST format
disks though that too is possible (anyone seen Dos-2-Dos?).

HOWEVER, any ST program that talks directly to the hardware for sound
or graphics etc. (which could be just about all of them) may not work
too well.  Oh well, TANSTAAFL.

Only mildly amusing, I'd rather have the ST emulator  (and CAD-3D)
