Its simplicity was what I wanted. I hoped to demonstrate some simple DSP and
sound theory in the simplest of environments before moving on to the more
complex.

Back in the pre-dos days, I managed to get the color computer (a z-80 based
machine with a cassette tape drive) to play some pretty complex music. Oh
well, I will just have to re-think it.

Thanks for your efforts!
