Welcome to the Shane Land OpenGEM website. This is where you can download the OpenGEM distribution of GEM, an opensource graphical user interface for DOS. We also have all the development tools you need for GEM (OpenGEM SDK 2).

Welcome to the next generation...

When GEM first arrived on the PC it caused a revolution. It was simple, quick, and easy-to-use. Now it's time for another revolution. OpenGEM is about to turn the DOS GUI world upsidedown. There is a new member of the OpenGEM family. We'd like to introduce OpenGEM 5 , based on the software in Project Liberation.

OpenGEM 5 is a whole new type of OpenGEM, and it's such a leap forward it'll blow your socks off. It packs more into a tiny space than you would expect.

OpenGEM 5 has a new 3D interface, with a neat modern pointer set, a beautiful new default system font, and cool new icons:

OpenGEM 5 will automatically detect the disk drives on your machine, and neatly display them on its desktop just like this:

It'll even happily show the contents of all the common text file formats through it's nifty internal viewer:

And let's not forget that it can run DOS applications simply by double-clicking them. It's all so simple.

OpenGEM 5 looks better than OpenGEM ever did before, but it's just as reliable as OpenGEM always has been.

OpenGEM 5 is 100% DR GEM, FreeGEM and OpenGEM compatible. It even makes old GEM applications look better.
