I've heard a rumour that Digital plans the release of a new Gem version, also for the Atari ST. It includes GemDos and all other stuff that we could have used so long ago (multiple, prop. font support etc.). Together with the release of Gem, they'll release Gem Draw, Gem Paint, Gem DTP, Gem Write (remember those prehistoric names ;). They need the new Gem to run, though. From what I've heard, the new Gem will load ittself into the ST Ram (ofcourse) and just uses the the ST's BIOS to perform disk-operations. It'll consume some 150 kb of memory, but will give you a possibly decent operating system in return. Any1 more in the know of this?
