GEM World
Unfortunately, the CP/M archive which contained the GEM World site had to be taken down recently, which meant that some GEM files were unavailable. Luckily, Gene Buckle had archived the site to another locations (see the Links page for more information). I've given the indices a new lick of paint, as it were, and can now tell you to click here for the GEM World files. Alternatively, the GEM World Developers' Page is here.
A note about downloads
This site's host has asked me to note that anyone attempting to download a large amount of data from this site using multiple connections (for instance, with a mass site-grabbing program) will be banned (along with their entire class C IP subnet) from accessing any part of this site. Please respect the rights of others to share this site's connection to the rest of the internet, otherwise we'll end up with no site at all. Thank you.

Modified GEM/3 Binaries and Sources
Please note that this code is likely to be under development, and may be unstable or buggy. While the authors have (I hope!) taken every care to ensure that their modifications will not do Bad Things to your system, you use this software at your own risk. The authors bear no responsibility for any damage to you, your equipment or your data resulting from the use of this software. However, this software has been tested and does work (at least on my system and on several others) so download it, have a look, and tell us what you think! These programs will probably be forming the basis of any future GEM distributions - at the moment both John's AES and my Desktop code report themselves as being part of FreeGEM 3.00.
