GEM Binary Distribution Robert Avis June 1999 This directory contains the disk images for the commercial distribution of GEM/3 release 3.01. To build a distribution, you will need 6 blank floppy disks. Each disk was originally made for a 330Kb disk, so you should have no trouble fitting it on to a 1.44Mb or 720Kb floppy. Execute the program gem30make.com. It will ask for the disks and prepare a disk set. To install GEM, insert disk 1 and execute GEMSETUP.EXE. If this program fails, you will have to manually unzip the files gm30dsk1.zip to gem30dsk6.zip to disks and manually set labels. (see below). GEM Setup looks for a disk label when installing. You must set these, otherwise GEMSETUP will not work. They are shown below. You can change disk lables using the DOS 'label' command, or Windows File Manager/Explorer. GM30MAKE.COM sets these automatically, but please check, it is very buggy. disk1 "GEM SYSTEM" (2 spaces between GEM and SYSTEM) disk2 "GEM SCREEN1" (1 space) disk3 "GEM SCREEN2" (1 space) disk4 "GEM PRINTR1" (1 space) disk5 "GEM PRINTR2" (1 space) disk6 "GEM PRINTR3" (1 space) To help during setup, label the disks physically as follows: disk1 GEM System Master Disk disk2 GEM Screen Disk #1 disk3 GEM Screen Disk #2 disk4 GEM Printer Disk #1 disk5 GEM Printer Disk #2 disk6 GEM Printer Disk #3 (comments/queries to robert.avis@virgin.net)
