[erlang-questions] Query: Status of Erlang on AIX.

[Andreas Hillqvist]

Would it be a possibility to simulate hardware using some sort of full
system simulation platform, like Virtutech Simics?
Why not use "virtual hardware" for all platform tests. Wouldn't  this
make life simpler for you?


Kind regards
Andreas Hillqvist
