This file is included in a compressed file PMMANDL2.ZIP that
contains:
PMMANDL2.EXE (an OS/2 Presentation Manager executable)
PMMANDL2.DOC (this file)
PMMANDL2.EXE is a close derivative of Charles Petzold's
Mandelbrot program for OS/2 Presentation Manger PMMANDEL.EXE.
The only difference is that the thread in PMMANDEL that
calculates the Mandelbrot equation has been set in PMMANDL2
to run as an idle-time thread under OS/2. This guarantees
that the Mandelbrot calculation will not take any CPU time
from normal tasks on an OS/2 machine. (It will, however,
compete for CPU with any other idle-class threads such as
background animation in DESKPIC.EXE and many CPU monitor
programs that use the productivity of a idle-class thread
as a way of calculating CPU usage.)
PMMANDL2.EXE was modified by Kent Cedola. This file was
written by Mark Ryland. Either can be contacted via
CompuServe or the Fidonet OS/2 echomail conference.
