I've written a routine in Maple though (obviously DEAD SLOW), but I
don't suppose that's what you want. In fact I'm writing a dutch manual
for FractInt to which I added an appendix about the chaos game,
Hutchinson operators and so on. In it I put the very same question to
the readers. If you make it work, please inform me!
