I wonder if you be so kind to post some photos of that bundle in the
group.
BTW: What are the dates of the files in the disks, We have a copy of DR
DOS dated 6/89, and I have (last release ??) GEM desktop 3.13 disks
with some files dated 2/89 and the rest in 1988 (I don't remember the
month now)

Anybody knows something about its history ??
I have installation disks with files dated 6/1990 and also a boot
disk
with some files dated in 2/1991, I know that
several bug fixing
versions exist, but Which is the last ??
I have a set of disks for DR-DOS 3.41 on original Digital Research
diskettes in a matched set with the GEM/3 Desktop. This combination
was a competitor with Windows 3.0 if I recall correctly. The only
'big' Application for GEM I'm aware of was Ventura Publisher.
It appears it was all licensed together as a set. There are
rubberstamped matching serial numbers on all the diskettes, and there
are two S/N's, one for the DR-DOS diskettes and a second for the GEM
desktop. There's also a full manual set and the sticker on front of
the DR-DOS users guide has a hologram Digital Research sticker that
cites "DR DOS, R3.X, GEM/3 Desktop, R3.X and GEM Paint, R2.X." So
it's a full bundle. My copy is in original 'plain white' box.
