The fractal program is an application that will draw the Mandelbrot set
and Julia sets.  You should have three files, this README.TXT file, the
FRACTAL.EXE file, and FRACTAL.HLP file.  The only file that is necessary
is the FRACTAL.EXE file, but you will not have help information.  This
application should run under windows 3.0 and 3.1.  It requires at least
a 286 CPU and a 80x87 math coprocessor.  A version without the 80x87 is
being developed, but it will probably be too slow to run on a 286
machine.  The right mouse button can be used in the Mandelbrot window to
select a "c" to generate a Julia set.  Points on the edge of the
Mandelbrot set give the most intricate Julia sets.  Points on the right
seem to generate "dragons".  The Julia sets will resemble the area around
the point on the Mandelbrot set where the constant "c" was selected.  It
is fun to look at the Julia set at the point "c" that was used to 
generate the Julia set.  The files m_0001.bmp and j_00086 are the 
Mandelbrot set (with Width set to 0.0001) and the Julia set (with Width
set to 0.00086) about the point -0.745429 0.113008i with 300 iterations.
Double-clicking the left mouse button in a window causes a "zoom" into
the point where the cursor is.  Since double clicking also increases the
number of iterations, you may want to manually zoom in by selecting the
draw option, and setting the width and height fields to one-fifth or
one-tenth their previous values. If you find that it is taking too long
to draw a figure, press <ESCAPE> to abort the drawing.  Drawings always
fill the frame, so a small window will draw faster than a large window.
