GEMDOS was the official OS under the GEM Gui, but GEM was also able to run with MS-DOS and TOS (the Atari OS). Geoworks / Geos isn't a Digital Research product, but has been developped by guys who ran away from Digital when it has been bought by Novell... Some guys told me that they worked with Geos and that it was really closed with the internal "GEM spirit".... Regards. Jocelyn.
