What does U4 do?

Provides a Vcc/2 local "ground" so I can use these op amps with a single
supply voltage.


More useful to let it oscillate as a square wave generator at 100kHz
or so, and rectify the output into a negative 15V rail. That way you
can run the op amps the way they are meant to be run.

What is wrong with using an op-amp to "amplify" DC? Surely they are
"meant" to do that.

Of course, but if an AC input and output is desired and no negative
supply is available, the input and output must be capacitively
coupled, which is, at best, kind of nasty.
