Be fair. You can't expect a 20 years old (when was the last release of Gemini, 
1990?) program to run like new on a currently developed OS. What is the point 
of using such a limited desktop as Gemini, anyway? You like it? Great! Just 
use it on a system on which it is known to run.

The XaAES developers have done over the years a tremendous amount of work to 
make it support most applications specifically developed for MagiC, plus a 
bunch of badly written but important applications. It has to stop somewhere.

Cheers,
JFL
