Nope. The IIgs version is based on a very different set of code,
actually. It was largely rewritten from scratch, and actually uses
different technology to do most or the rendering. It contains code
owned by Id still, but also Vitesse, Becky Heineman, Logicware, and
myself, as well as, I think, Interplay Productions.
