FMS, SMG$, Windowing/Forms on a Text Terminal - HECnet

1 Oct 2013

That's the way I read it too and I happen to agree with that point of view :)
Until you understand things like pasteboards and displays SMG$ is pretty awesome. Calling
it from Pascal doesn't make it easier I can tell you.

 Very interesting! I have played a little with SMG$ as
part of 
Retrochallenge, and looked at the other projects, but as hinted there is 
a steep learning curve with a lot of the products that is bound to put 
most off. 
Are you saying that there is a steep learning curve to SMG$?
