[Coco] GemQuest and error

[Guillaume Major]

Thanks Curtis for the information. I the meantime, I managed to create a 
working copy of the game using stock OS-9! It can be downloaded here:

Sokoban is another game that fails on NitrOS-9. I hope you'll be able to 
make it NitrOS-9 compatible eventually.

Enjoy!

Guillaume

A couple of Floyd’s games got broke between NitrOS-9 2.01 (where they worked 
fine) and 3.3.0. I will be looking further into this later on. I do know the 
icon editor SuperIke was broke, too, but discovered that that was because 
the 3.3.0 from the repository was using the stock GFX2 module by 
Tandy/Microware, rather than the 1990 upgraded version that Kevin Darling 
and Kent Meyers releases (which is a subset of the one they did for the 
Version 3 upgrade). It still has some quirks I am in the process of fixing, 
and I will release the patched SuperIke once that is done. I am not sure if 
this is the same issue the Floyd’s games are hitting, but I imagine it is 
something similar. (Like the syntax of TMODE/XMODE changing also broke some 
old programs).
