	The answer is a qualified yes.  Theoretically, any GEM resource
file is compatible with any GEM system, but you should take into account
the fact that some resource information may include a pixel offset, and these
may cause some pains, especially if the source and target machines share
vastly different resolutions.

	I believe Antic carries one, but I have never seen it, so cannot
vouch for its quality or even for its shabbiness.
