While installing Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0 on a friends 286 machine, I had
to go through the process of installing GEM on his hard drive.  It was kind of
weird having to load GEM from disk, but I had to do it anyway...  Much to my
surprise when I started GEM, I had to ugly looking windows and a wimpy menu
bar to look at.  These windows couldn't even be sized!  From what I remember,
Xerox was sued by Apple (during the sueing days...) for infringing on the 
"look and feel" of the Macintosh Desktop.  Was this drastic change to GEM a
part of that legal action, or was it voluntary?  (The former seems more likely
than the latter...)  If the suit did make them change, why didn't Atari have
to change their GEM, considering it was identical to the original IBM GEM?
Allan, would like to explain this one for me?   :-)
