[Coco] GemQuest and error

[L. Curtis Boyle]

Sokoban ran under 2.01, too. I wonder what other things have changed over the years (I have fixed a few bugs in EOU... and there are a couple more that I know I have to fix ...), but more than I originally thought.

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).
