I have GemDraw on my AT&T PC 6300 at work, and it produces .GEM files, true.
However, when I transferred a PC GemDraw .GEM file over to my ST, and tried
to get Easy Draw (version 2.3) to read it, EasyDraw complained with a
"file not in GEM format" message.

So, is it really true that EasyDraw and GemDraw will read/write each other's
files, and if so, what I am I missing?  Thanks.
