Replaced broken setup batch script with fixed version from Michael Henry on the Gem-dev mailing list. http://www.simpits.org/pipermail/gem-dev/2017-July/001975.html This allows OpenGEM to work correctly on both DosBOX and FreeDOS by allowing the setup tool to actually function and make changes to video drivers, etc.

Updated with functioning Update.BAT file and updated README to reflect changes.

Sadly, this isn't enough for me. I've installed OpenGEM 6 via the FreeDOS package manager and the scripts are just broken, it's a chaotic mix of wrong relative and absolute paths, which basically assumes that you've installed it all on Thank you for the PR though, that helped me debug the issue in my installation. Still not fixed though, looking into it. |

Oh, I see you've opened this ticket on Sourceforge... will wait to see what you come up with. |

Glad it was of some help :) Just to confirm; after copying the files from my modified openGEM 7 folder to If so, does it display the same behavior on DOSBox? |

Hi Shane,
I wasn't able to get OpenGEM 6 or 7-RC3 to work properly on any of my machines running FreeDOS or DosBOX (many graphics and icons were missing). Went investigating, and found the comment from Michael Henry on the Gem-Dev mailing list with the revised setup.bat, which completely fixed my problem.
Having never used Github before, decided to try my hand at doing the fixes myself and submitting this pull request. Hopefully I did this right, let me know what you think! :)
