[comp.sys.atari.st] FlexOS and X/GEM, DR and Atari

Looking in the Jan 1991 issue of byte, they have an overview of Digital 
Research's FlexOS, a multi-user, multitasking operating system for 286/386 
computers. Well, the operating system runs DOS applications, and heres the 
kicker, DR has ported GEM over to it, renaming it X/GEM. Current GEM 
applications for ms-dos work under it also.

What I was wondering is: How close has Atari been working with Digital 
Research over these past years? And what are the possibilities of having 
FlexOS and X/GEM ported over to work on the ST?
