McCawley, Lattices

I saw an obituary in the San Diego paper this AM of James McCawley, a
linguist at the University of Chicago. Among his many interests,
microtonal music was specifically mentioned. Does anyone know of his
work in our area? Blackwood is also at Chicago, BTW.

McCawley is best known as the creator of "generative semantics," a
theory which became inintentional construed as a challenge to Chomsky,
McCawley's former teacher.

As for my lattices, I'm still experimenting, but I thought the early
results interesting enough to release. I tend to agree that trying to
show both the sizes (in cents) of the intervals and their harmonic
relations on the same diagram is confusing. I might add that I use
octave reduced intervals and reduce the generating prime factors to one
octave also.

Does anybody have any good ideas how to revive cheaply a Mac SE/30 with
a dead hard disk so I can continue to run system 6.0X on it. MicroSoft
QuickBASIC, in which all my lattice and theory programs are written,
won't run under system 7 or above. Of course, I can learn C(++),
Mathematica, VisualBasic, Pascal, etc., but that means re-writing
thousands of lines of code and revising the program structure for these
modern GUI-oriented programming systems.
