After reading the info I included with the Gemini posting, I realized I
forgot to mention a couple of things:
- Gemini does NOT run with versions of TOS previous to 1.2. I'm starting
to take 1.4 for granted, seems Stefan Eissing (the author) took it for
granted as well in his posting. Gemini is another good reason to get
TOS 1.4, believe me.
- I accidently included *my* desktop configuration in the distribution.
It is not very exciting and does not illustrate everything that can
be done on the desktop. If there is a demand, I will try and dig
up the original gemini.inf file. Sorry 'bout that!
- I forgot to mention that Gemini seems to support a limited naming of
volumes. For instance, if you name a certain disk and drag it onto
the desktop then remove the disk from the drive, the next time you
attempt to open that disk, it will tell you to insert volume whatever
into to the drive. This may work for files as well. I'm not sure
on exactly how to do it right now 'cause I'm not at home. Experiment.
At worst, you might only reformat your hard disk. (only a joke |^) )
Boy, if I'm not careful, I may learn everything about this program before
I get the English documentation; I doubt it though. Please post or email
ANYTHING you learn about this program! I am willing to help answer questions
about Gemini and I'm sure there are a few. I don't know the memory require-
ments of Gemini but it *should* run in 512K. The key is having the right
version of TOS. Hope this helps somewhat!

" - Blue Oyster Cult / -- Well, looking at the doc's (I'm a second semester German student, and it helps with stuff from Germany), anyway, the docs also said that it requires a meg of memory. I only have TOS 1.0, so i haven't dug to far into the docs.
