Seriously, if you do happen to find the JAVA applet, could you post a 
link in off-topic, or e-mail it to me?  I'd really appreciate it. 
Although I'm probably going to have to break down and learn a usable 
programming language again.  (PostScript?)

I could just flip some of the transforms around, or angle them so that 
they rotate inward, or being more radical and following the lead of this 
very interesting application,

http://flam3.com/

I could compose it with a non-linear transformation (see his 
well-written paper under "math" at the above link).

Mostly, though, I made this POVRay version so that I could make 3D IFS. 
  I can arrange ball-and-stick tetrahedra or parallelepipeds and this 
should be easier than trying to puzzle out the transformations directly.

Man, no-one likes my baby blue and pink checkers.  Here I am, just 
trying to be gender-inclusive.  Oh, well. ;-)

Thanks for the comments.
