                            Fractal Thingy
                   Copyright 1997 by Steven Goodwin


A short program to produce recursive  fractal line drawings (like Koch
snowflakes and Peano  curves),  and  without  a  single  mention  of a
Mandelbrot set in the whole damn archive! (well, except that one!)


                       What Fractal Thingy Does

The computer takes two shapes  (each  comprised of straight lines with
common points). eg.

1 - The shape       /--\
2 - Initialiser    -----

  The line joining each point in the initialiser is replaced with 'the
shape' to form a  new  initialiser  shape.  This repeats ad infinitum.
This is difficult to show in  ASCII  art, so I've included some screen
grabs (demo1, demo2, demo3 in the images directory).
