INTRODUCTION
Fractals are bizarre mathematical objects possessing an infinitely
detailed structure. Fractal geometry has become increasingly popular in
recent years because it often does a better job of modeling nature than
ordinary high school geometry.
FractalSave is a Windows 3.1 screen saver which uses fractal-based
patterns to construct scenes of astonishing complexity and beauty.
**************
NOTE: THIS VERSION OF FRACTALSAVE REQUIRES WINDOWS 3.1!

Thank you for taking the time to evaluate FractalSave for Windows. I
