     There are two PD Gem-type interfaces available that I know of,
darned if I can remember their names right now.  Regardless, they
_should_ be on CIS or GEnie.  In my opinion, this type of interface
for an 8-bit machine is unnecessary, and cannot fail to be too
memory-hungry, slow, and limited to be useful.  Go for SpartaDOS.
