[seqfan] Re: Website linked in A242888 and A242889

[Ray Chandler]

Go to http://www.jcrystal.com/steffenweber/ and select MS-DOS option.  If you click the "download" link below Tilings 1.2 icon, you can download the program.  

Note: These programs were never designed to run under Windows. You can still run them on Windows Vista/7/8/10 using the free DOS Box emulator.

There are more current Windows programs that may offer similar capability.
