                                  FSMGDOS


FSMGDOS was developed by Atari in conjunction with QMS/Imagen Corp. to
provide Imagen outline fonts which could be displayed at any point size,
aspect ratio, or device. It provided all of the improved features of
FONTGDOS with outline fonts and caching capability. This version of GDOS
was, however, never officially released. Third-party manufacturers did
ship many copies of this GDOS to the public. In addition, many developers
did update their products to utilize the special features of FSMGDOS.

Most VDI function calls added with this version of GDOS have remained
compatible with SpeedoGDOS, however, some calls which were never used by
developers were changed. This means that applications written to support
SpeedoGDOS may not be backwardly compatible. For specific compatibility
information, consult the VDI Function Reference.
