The Graphic Environment Manager (GEM) from Digital Research existed both
for ATARI ST and IBM/PC (or AmstradPC, or whateverPC) written mainly in
"C" language, portable, and almost free software now. It could be ported
on the ATARI VCS (a computer from ATARI S.A.!) so that ported ATARI 68k
software (written in "C", cross-compiled, like mine) could run with it,
eventually with the usage of a virtual machine in a first period, like
ARAnyM. That's how Apple have done with the Mac, transitioning 68k ->
PPC -> Intel -> ARM. Transitioning from Apple, was simple to users and
developers, ask them! I've lived it using all different Apple computers.

That could be the rebirth of ATARI computers, forty years after ST =)
I'm not kidding! Do you know GEM, ATARI VCS, "C" language, ARAnyM, Mac?

I hope that it makes sense...

Best regards,
