Excuse me, but isn't this like porting RSTS to a Sun/3? Why would
you want to port something that's so iconsistent with the Amiga user
interface? I could go for a GEM-lookalike software interface that lets
the program make GEM calls but runs Intuition, but porting GEM over is just
going to screw the users by forcing them to learn yet another way of doing
things.
