[erlang-questions] GUI development with Erlang

[Lloyd R. Prentice]

Way back in the day my company developed Apple II educational and consumer software products delivered on Apple II single-sided floppy discs. These included interactive games, delightful full-screen graphics and animation, and music.

Folks swore that you couldn't do music on the Apple II, but we did.

The secrets: Forth '79, which provided an incredibly small footprint and its own operating system.

All the best,
