It runs only on Dos, and has a steep learning curve, but somewhat familiar to the modular enthusiast. You basic plug together modules like random note generator, rythmic generators, etc. Also, for those looking at using a lot of these legacy programs, Linux has emulators for Dos, Amiga, Atari, Macitosh 68k, Commodore 64, Windows, etc. Quite a few people have had success w/ these programs.
