Short: Simple Mandelbrot generator for Retina

This is Version 0.1 of "Retina Mandelbrot," a Mandelbrot 
set generator which outputs its graphics directly upon 
the Retina graphics card for the Amiga computer. This 
program branches very simplistic; not only does it not 
support zooming or other nifty features such as color 
cycling, but it also is not very optimized. On a 760 by 482 
screen, it will take approximately ten minutes to render 
a full Mandelbrot set. The program uses the so-called 
"divide and conquer" algorithm.   
  
Future improvements will include: a fully intuitionized
user interface; zooming, panning, and other gross
movement operations; and support for color cycling.
Of course, I will attempt to make this program much
faster.
