--------------------------------------
Fractals:
---------
This CD-ROM's main point is "The fantastic world of fractals".
The following software collection will help you to dive into this world.
FRACTINT: Fractal Generator Binaries
Version: 18.2
Author: Stone Soup Group.
Bert Tyler the original author can be reached via
Email at [73477,433] on CompuServe (CIS) i.e. on InterNet
73477.433@compuserve.com.
Timothy Wegner CIS: 71320,675
Mark Peterson CIS: 70441,3353
Pieter Branderhorst CIS: 72611,2257
State: Fractint is freeware.
The copyright is retained by the Stone Soup Group.
Text: FRACTINT plots and manipulates images of "objects" --
actually, sets of mathematical points -- that have fractal
dimension. Fractal geometry is a discipline named and
popularized by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot.
The name FRACTINT was chosen because the program generates
many of its images using INTeger math, rather than
the floating point calculations used by most such programs.
Fractint works with many adapters and graphics modes from
CGA to the 1024x768, 256-color XGA mode.
For a demonstration of some of Fractint's features, run the
demonstration file included with this release (DEMO.BAT) by
typing "demo" at the DOS prompt. You can stop the demon-
stration at any time by pressing <Esc>.
Fractint is an experiment in collaboration. Many volunteers
have joined Bert Tyler, the program's first author, in
improving successive versions. For further details consult
the manual.
FRASRC: Fractal Generator Sources
Version: 18.2
Author: Stone Soup Group.
State: Freeware. The copyright is retained by the Stone Soup Group.
Text: These are the Sources of FRACTINT 18.2 in C and Assembler.
This may be not very interesting for most of the users,
but it is extremely interesting for those who are
programming themselves. Ports to ATARI, AMIGA or Macintosh
would be highly appreciated. So don't wait any longer...
FRACXTRA: Fractint Extras Collection
Version: 4.0, 2/29/93 release.
Compilation: Dan Goldwater

State: Shareware/Freeware/PD collection
Text: FracXtra is a huge collection of .map, .par, .frm, .ifs,
.l, .key, and .bat files, as well as some small external
programs for the best fractal generator ever made, Fractint,
by the Stone Soup Group. Version 17 or higher of fractint is
needed for some of the files in this collection.
MAKMAP: Makemap Utility
Author: Ron Barnett
CIS: 70153,1233
State: Freeware.
Text: Make 256 color MAPs for Fractint! Requires Windows 3.1.
A 256 color (or greater) card and monitor is preferred.
This program has no setup utility. The author recommends
you place MAKEMAP.EXE in your Fractint directory, BWCC.DLL
in your Windows\System directory, and MAKEMAP.HLP.
Alternatively, all files can be placed in the same
directory.

Text: GANYMEDH is the innovative fractal generator with ray-
tracing-based 3D capabilities.
In addition to the well known MANDELBROT an JULIA sets, the
fractal types SCHWINGER, NEWTON, PEGASUS and REGULAFALSI (in
2D and 3D), the fascinating type PLASMA CLOUDS and some new
3D features are now provided.
The most important features are:
- comfortable TV-SAA user interface with full mouse support.
- context sensitive online help system.
- automatic user guidance functions for editing all parameters
concerning a fractal iteration.
- three dimensional display of all fractal types.
- comfortable commands for saving an recalling calculated
fractal images.
- fully mouse supported graphic zoom funktion for quick
upscaling of clips of the fractal image.
- supports all standard graphics modes CGA, HGC, EGA and
VGA, as well as all SVGA modes up to 1280x1024x256.
- for EGA cards and especially with SVGA cards:
realtime colour animation (fractal "waterfalls" a.o.)
- highly optimized iteration algorithms with very fast
integer or extremely precise floating point arithmetics.
Full support of 32 bit processing (386/486 CPU).
- animated slideshow.
- extensive manual documentation supplied with the registered
version (approx. 180 pages).

Text: The program Plot3D is a tool for displying two- and three-
dimensional functions and similar objects. It is less
suitable for professional purposes, rather than for
demonstration purposes and as an aid for areal imagination
and certain mathematical connections.
The following objects may be worked on with Plot 3D:
- Functions y = f(x)
- Functions (x,y,z) = f(t)
- Functions z = f(x,y)
- Functions (x,y,z) = f(p,q)
- certain hyper areas of second grade: F(x,y,z) = c
- rotation solids and similar structures

Text: PEP is an innovative drawing and layout program for the
IBM PC and compatibles running under DOS. PEP is designed
for the non-artist who needs diagrams, illustrations, or
high quality drawings of any sort. PEP can be used to
create logos, banners, forms, certificates, presentations,
slide shows, flow charts, floor plans, and much more. PEP
provides hardcopy output via LaserJet, DeskJet, PostScript,
and dot matrix printers, and file output to the popular PCX
and EPS formats, so that PEP drawings can be used in most
word processors and publishing programs.
PEP's super-fast display code and responsive user interface
guarantee high performance on the oldest XT class machines
as well as the newest and fastest computers. PEP's many
features include: multiple windows, arbitrary zoom, WYSIWYG
display, background printing, infinite un-delete, scalable
fonts, decorative ornaments, rulers, grids, snapping, a
powerful collection of menu driven commands, and complete
on-line documentation.

This program was already on the last issue of ROMWARE
Graphics. Due to the big enhancements in Tiffy Pro, we
have included this updated version.
Image Collection:
-----------------
In the directory BILDER (pictures) you will find several graphic images
selected from the areas FANTASY, fish (FISCHE), fractals (FRAKTALE),
landscape (LANDSCHAFT) and plants (PFLANZEN). The GANYMEDH fractals have
been donated to the public domain by the author of Ganymedh, calculated by
his shareware program.
