Martijn, my son, reads a couple of pages from Stephen Wolfram’s “A New Kind Of Science (pages 189-191), takes an hour or two and writes a neat little Java program generating a Curl and a Julia. Cool.
Program will be available soon so you can try it yourself.

Converted the Cheetah User Manual from Pages to our online Wiki:

Answered Durk’s questions from last week. See Cheetah as your personal assistant
Restructured the manual into a more logical flow and hierarchy.
Martien.
