[Xerte] model of XERTE

[Fred Riley]

I think I know what you mean. The paradigm for Xerte is similar to that
of the long-defunct Authorware: a series of icons with a start and
finish, and the program flows down the icon list until it hits an
instruction to stop or loop or do something else. It's the sort of
program flow I was taught in my computing degree, before OOP emerged.

>From talking to Julian I know that Xerte was loosely based on
Authorware, as Julian was an Authorware programmer who moved to Flash
and was looking to automate and simplify many operations. Still, let's
hear it from the horse's mouth - over to you, Julian (you're not very
horselike, honest :o))

Cheers

Fred
