gem
     
         one of the first commercially available
        guis.  borrowing heavily from the macintosh wimp-style
        interface it was available for both the ibm compatible
        market being packaged with amstrad's original pc series
        and more successfully for the atari st range.  the pc
        version was produced by digital research more famous for
        dr-dos, their ms-dos clone, and was not developed very
        far.  the atari version, however, continued to be developed
        until the early 1990s and the later versions supported 24-bit
        colour modes, full colour icons and a nice looking sculpted
        3d interface.
