Uploader:     tkreuzer delphi com
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


Features
--------

      Opens on the default public screen (initially the Workbench)

      Usable on any screen with at least 2 "free" pens

      Avoids usage of all pens already "obtained" upon program start
       (i.e., AmigaDOS 3.0 "Protected Pen" compliant)

      Separate user interface and drawing windows

      Resizable drawing window with point-and-click Zoom-In and
       centering functions

      Adjustable Zoom-Out function

      Contents of drawing window can be saved to a standard IFF/ILBM file

      Full GadTools Intuition interface

      Supports the following types of fractals:

         - Mandelbrot
         - Julia Set
         - Magnetism
         - Lambda Exponential
         - Lambda Cosine
         - Biomorph
         - Plasma

      All math done in double precision floating point

      Separate versions for:

         - 68020 without FPU (stock A1200 and A4000/030)
         - 68020 with FPU    (improved A1200 and A4000/030)
         - 68040             (stock A4000/040)

      "Smart" iconify function

      Help text (displayed on screen banner) for the Zoom In and Center
       actions

      Recommended for use with my PaletteTool and PST programs(!)

      Tested OK using the Enforcer


Limitations
-----------

      Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)

      Requires AmigaDOS 3.0+ and the AGA chipset

      FPU (68881/68882) highly recommended for maximum enjoyment!

      Designed for use with higher-resolution screen modes (640x400 and
       higher).  Note that this does NOT mean the program will not work
       on lower-resolution screens.  What it DOES mean is that you may
       find the programs windows take up a lot of screen "real estate"
       on lower-resolution screens

      For some reason, the program leaves 104 bytes allocated when it
       terminates.  I have been unable to ascertain exactly where this
       memory is not being freed
