;; DRAGON.L FOR PC-LISP V2.13
;; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;; Draw an Nth order Dragon Curve requires Turtle.l routines to run.
;; Taken From Byte April 1986. Try (DragonCurve 16) then put on supper,
;; watch the news and come back in an hour and see the results. It takes
;; about 1/2 hour on my machine so on a normal IBM-PC it should take about
;; an 1.5 hours.

;; Peter Ashwood-Smith.
;; August 1986

;; P.S - This dragon is nicknamed "spot"
