A set of GEM bindings written in assembler and compatible with Sozobon C
showed up the other day at BRASS*BBS in Buffalo, N.Y. The package,
GEMQ.ARC, includes AES, VDI and a utility library (handy functions for GEM
programmers that aren't built into GEM).

The readme file in the archive includes a note from the author, Don E.
Farmer, 16810 Deer Creek Drive, Spring, Texas 77379 to the effect that he
wrote the libraries for Alcyon C users as a shareware project, but found
no takers, so he was releasing them as "public domain" but retaining the
copyright. (That's a contradiction, but I suppose he means "you can pass
this around and use it as you see fit.")

The AES library is a little bit smaller than the one I wrote in C. I
suspect that the VDI library is better than the one I haven't written yet.
So I probably won't finish the job.

If someone will advise me where to send GEMQ for net distribution, I will
do so.
