This book was published in 2016. I think it's fairer to say that the code
can't be guaranteed to be compatible with j9.4 because FVJ is not part of
the J package.

However there is a lab: Fractals, Visualization and J -which *is* part of
the J package, and worked in jqt 9.4 when I last tried it.

This may give you a clue as to what needs modifying in the printed book.
