Mand2000 iteration files and ADPro Mand2000 has the unique ability to write out the raw iteration values it calculates to an IFF file where they can be read in by other programs. The first program to make use of that feature is Fractal2000, a fractal loader for ADPro. This loader lets you translate these iteration files into 24 bit pictures. You can then use the full power of ADPro's image processing abilities to convert these into any image format you want, or display them on a 24 bit graphics board. The `.frac' files were saved from Mand2000 using the `Iterations and Location' option. They were then loaded into ADPro as 24 bit images, converted to HAM and saved out to the `.ham' files. These files were mostly done at NTSC resolutions to ensure that everyone who has an Amiga can display them. However Mand2000 is certainly not restricted to working at NTSC resolutions. Mand2000 supports all Amiga resolutions, including AGA screen modes and RTG screen modes on third party graphics boards. So far Mand2000 has proved compatible with the Picasso, Retina, EGS and Piccolo boards and has proved incompatible with none of the RTG boards. The largest images we have calculated with Mand2000 were 4000 by 3500 pixels. Full documentation of the iteration file format is available for registered users of Mand2000. These pictures may be freely distributed on a non-profit basis, as long as this complete text file is distributed with it. The pictures may be used as long as full credit is given to Cygnus Software and Mand2000. The demo version of Mand2000 only allows saving of small images and does not allow saving of iteration information. The full version of Mand2000, with no image size restrictions, full online help and much, much more, is available from Cygnus Software or you can order it from our European distributor, ICP Verlag.
