  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.
