I would be interested in getting that program. I do not know anything about waw files but getting a program like that might change that.
I am sure others would too. 2010/3/1 June Kim <[email protected]>: > On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 11:16 AM, PackRat <[email protected]> wrote: >> Björn Helgason wrote: >>> Can you work on music files with J and create music to play on a PC? > > Though I can't say it was "music" exactly, I once did an experimental > project(rather a couple of lines) for a special off-line party for IT > people. > > The program could translate any program code into wav files.
