well I just tested this in DOSEMU with a disk image.

I should also add
- OpenGEM.
http://gem.shaneland.co.uk
Now there will be a 100% FreeDOS compatible OpenGEM out in October, but
still the current one should work too.

This one I find really annoying since the program is GPLed, so here we
don't need to reverse engineer, figure out undocumented undocumented DOS,
etc. Though it does come with a non-GPLed UMB loader that might be the
source of trouble.

The behaviour I get with GEM now:
start GEM using gem.bat, fine. start the spreadsheet, fine (scgemm.app),
enter 10*10 in box A1, you get 100, fine. Now exiting the spreadsheet by
clicking on the square in the box crashes DOS.
