	There are some interesting things going on in FORTH here
at the Mills graduate music department. A computer music language
called Hierarchical Music Specification Language (HMSL) has been de-
veloped in a specially designed object-oriented version of FORTH.
The Language currently runs on the Amiga and Mac families of computers
and is designed primarily for real-time interactive applications in 
music performance, composition, and experiments in musical AI applications.
The language makes extensive use of user-defined midi (and for the amiga,
local sound, too) virtual instruments to control any midi device, or other
custom interfaces the user may wish to implement.
