Ironically, it looks like there will be no GEL, due to
copyright violation.

There is a company/product called GainMomentum that produces
an object-oriented development environment of the
samed name, and their scripting language is called GEL(TM).
Foiled by the evil intellectual property rights laws again!

(If anyone wants to investigate further: this product
is frequently mentioned in a book on OOP by John Connell,
connell@george.arc.nasa.gov; he could probably provide a pointer)

But, as Bill Cosby Says, there's always room for for GELLO :-)
