jeforth6.23 - CH Ting
"I fixed a few bugs in jeforth 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 run very fast and totally controlled by a mouse. The performance is interactive and very smooth."
