jeforth6.23 --- C.H. Ting
"Fixed a few bugs, and tested some more applications, including Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) dial tone, the Mandelbrot Set, and a Digital Globe. These were originally written on F83 and F-PC. Now under JavaScript, they are very fast and totally controlled by a mouse. Interactive and very smooth."
