    Incidentally, I wrote some code implementing the L-systems
described in this book; it's available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.unc.edu (128.109.136.77, at present) in pub/lsys.tar.Z.	It
requires AT&T C++ 2.0, G++ 1.39.0, or equivalent compiler and produces
output in PostScript and several database formats.
