It's a Java version of an ex-DOS program. java -jar [script] runs it. But the language is a kind of music-notation or composition. It is fractal in nature; that grabs me. LOGO and turtle (?) were after my graduation; and until now, little interest. The LmUSEj website offers several *.mid ditties; several with fractal graphics.
