I had the source for some simple GEM apps back in 1987, and I thought it would be cool to run them on SunOS, so I wrote an API compatible library that I called GEMulator. Then I had some other ideas and forgot about that. I have no idea if it survived. Probably not.

I found the source for my GEM emulation library. It's written for the NeWS window system and outputs PostScript, so it's quite small, ~ 100 kB.
Let me know if anyone is interested. I can put it on GitHub on request. I haven't figured out any good hashtags for GEM and NeWS.
