◊ This program is distributed as Shareware: if you like it or use it please honor the shareware system by sending $5 to the author at the address above. Since collecting international cheques is very expensive, please send cash only. If you MUST send a cheque, keep in mind that the banks will gobble up more than half of it.
◊ NOTE: Getting some (usually very few) bucks is what you write shareware for, but getting a note, a postcard or anything else is a lot better than getting nothing. I'd like to know how far this program has gone, so remember that you can do something nice even if you don't have a couple of $$$ to spare.
• Fractals (formerly Mandelbrot) is an AfterDark™ module that generates fractal images from the well-known Mandelbrot set. It takes full advantage of math coprocessors and color monitors up to 24-bit, but it will also run on 68000-based, black & white Macs. The "Regions" dialog lets you explore the set and zoom in as much as you like to define your own favourite fractal scenes; a compact on-line help gives you the basic information needed to create your own pictures.
• Version 1.31 saves a PICT file when the the Caps Lock key is toggled (either on or off) and includes the Fractal Viewer application, which can display several PICT files at once and uses only 64K of RAM. All PICT files are stored in a folder named "Fractal Images" at the root level of the startup disk. Note that color images take up a lot of disk space, so make sure you've got enough before you save your images.
• HAVE FUN! And don't forget to $$$ SEND YOUR CONTRIBUTION $$$ so that more cool utilities will see the light in the near future, at the low-low-low costs of shareware.
