	One way to get GEM info is to buy O.S.S's Pascal compiler (under $100).
You will not get the standard GEM interface but O.S.S. has made most of
GEM accessable through special Pascal procedures and functions (standard
gem calls can be linked into you program as well, but there is no doc
for this). Using the special routines makes it relatively easy to set up
windows, drop down menus, and dialog boxes. Ease of use and length of
compile time is also much better than DRI C.
