Inside GEM ?

Does anyone know how similar the internal structure of GEM is to the MAC ?
Does it have an event manager, etc.  Does it use the concept of a resource
file ?  Did Atari make use of the unimplemented instruction trap of the
68000 like apple did, to speed up system calls.  The main point of these
questions being, how easy is it to port Mac software to run under GEM, and
will people who know the internal structure of the Mac toolbox be able to
easily write code under GEM ?  Is anyone on the net currently writing 
software for GEM ?

Has anyone heard whether or not Atari or DRI will come out with an 'Inside
GEM' ?  And if so, how long will we have to wait ?

Thanks in Advance...
David Rowley.

It's a long time to wait, but Doctor Dobbs Journal has promised 
"A Programmers Guide to GEM" for their December issue.
