Summary: GEM interface on FSII


I know as a fact the interface used in FSII is not akin to GEM on the ST (or
IBM for that matter) since I also own an ST.  I thought it was Mac-like, and
this would make sense since the ST version is supposed to be ported over from
the Mac.  Either way, I agree that it is a good idea to use your computer's
interface for programs running on it, not another computer's interface.  It's
hard enough getting used to each computer...

About the recent Juggler demo postings arriving at most sites corrupted:

Can't the files be ARCed, and since ARC has a checksum utility, it would point
out corrupted files on their creation?  It would also shorten Kermit transfer
time from the VAX to Amiga :-)

file -> ARC -> uuencode -> mail
