BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Oh!Fractals is a user-suppoerted, shareware program. It is not
Public Domain or Freware.
Oh!Fractals is capable of generating and displaying computer
graphic Fractals. The popular Mandelbrot algorithm is employed.
LICENSE AGGREMENT
The registration fee for Oh!Fractals is $28.00. The fee includes
a very informative booklet on Fractals and how to plot Fractlas.
The fee only licenses the payee for use of the program by one
person on one computer. Corporate and Government Site licenses
are availeable.
Please note that if you create a Fractal graphic design file
using this program, you will need a license, since you will be
sending Oh!Fractals code (in the form of the filename.PC1 or
filename.PC2).This is a non-exclusive licence and non-
transferable. Please complete and return the order form for a

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Oh!Fractals is a computer graphics program. It is capable of
generating and displaying computer graphics known as Fractals.
The Fractals are produced using the Mandelbrot algorithm. The
Mandelbrot algorithm is the most popular form of producing
Fractals. Oh!Fractals is capable of producing infinite Fractal
graphics, allowing the user to zoom in deeper and deeper to get a
unique "picture." When the term "computer generated graphics" is
applied, it usually refers to a graphic image created by a
computer algorithm. True "computer generated graphics" are not
"paint" programs, they are graphics produced by a computer
algorithm. The Mandelbrot algorithm is among the most complicated
algorithms for generating Fractal computer graphics. Oh!Fractals
removes the ambiguity, allowing the user to simply plot points to
produce a Fractal. The graphics images produced are a direct
image of a particular Fractal as it exists in nature. The images
are not fudged in any way, shape or form. Since the Mandelbrot
set is infinite in nature, many unique, one of a kind images may
be produced. Welcome to the exciting, still largely uncharted
world of Fractals.
