Ñ PowerXplorer is a small application I wrote to test the Power Macintosh speed in native floating-point calculations. It draws the Mandelbrot set and lets you explore it by zooming in and out at will.
Ñ PowerXplorer is a ╥fat╙ application: it contains code for both the 680x0 processors and the new PowerPC chip. The 680x0 code requires at least a 68020 and a 68881 coprocessor; it doesn╒t run on a 68LC040 because that chip has no math coprocessor. PowerXplorer requires 256 colors (or grays) to display the images properly; with thousands or millions of colors the image is correct, but there╒s no color animation.
Ñ PowerXplorer is free. You may give it away to your friends, post it on BBS's or include it in any non-commercial stuff you can possibly think of, as long as the application and its documentation are not modified in any way. If you really like PowerXplorer, send me a postcard. You may include suggestions or bug reports if you want to.
Ñ PowerXplorer has a complete online documentation you can access with the ╥Info╙ button in the main dialog. You may save it as a text file and read or print it with a text editor.
