Thanks to Martin, I downloaded JEdit, this makes it much easier to cut and paste the code. After installing JEdit the plug in manager can install codeToHTML.JEdit adds line numbers too, so this should also help explain the relevant statements in the text.I cant see there being much changes apart from making the filled circles smaller when they are at the top of the picture.
Clicking on the picture will start the randomizer application (If you have a Java runtime environment installed...)
