Yeah, this was some years back but don't ask me to pin point it. I can only
assume it was a Microsoft offering since I've only owned Windows and Amiga
based computers and I don't think it was an Amiga program. I seem to remember
it being a beta version but that is as far as it got. It sure was facinating
to mess with since it did come up with some good tunes all on it's own. A
great way to play with and experience computer AI.
This would be one of those great programs to offer Vista users since with
today's computers it could really be updated nicely.
