I'll send ya a return postage paid diskette mailer for a copy, can
anyone help ?
If you plan to install it on your XT's hard drive, forget it. Ver 1.1 didn't
support hard drives.
I also have a copy someone gave me of Windows Ver 1.0 , have never tried
it yet..
Has anyone seen this yet ?
I have an old 386 set up with a boot manager and three different GUI's on
different partitions. GEM 1.2, Windows 1.02 and IBM's Topview 1.01. Topview
is the oldest with files dated March 1985 and the most primitive looking.
GEM is the best looking and most usable. Looks similar to an early Mac.
Dated September 1985. Windows looks a little untidy with garish default
colors. These files are dated January 1986. I have them all set up to run
in EGA. The only one that gave any trouble installing was Topview, which
didn't work properly until I found a 1986 mouse driver.
