Does anyone out there have the newest version of MandelVROOM as announced of Fish Disk 215? If can it be placed on some anonymous FTP site we could get at? I'd sure love to see the new 020 improvements! -ROger

I wrote it) I gave the sources to Bob Page, and he is getting the release together for comp.sources and comp.binaries amiga together. I have faith that Bob will be finishing the release soon. If Bob is having problems with the release, it is probably due to mistakes on my part. I failed to give him all the files needed for the release. The new 68020/68881 features work just fine (nice and fast too.) Send all bug reports to me! Complements (or money) are welcome too. I was hoping that Fred would give me my own disk (like Matt Dillon), but I didn't let him know in time. Fred mentioned that the program needs 1 meg. It can run in less, but you can't get very many Mandelbrot pictures generating simultaneously. Anyway.... I hope you like it!

I loved the old version of IMMVROOM and the new one sounds just fantastic. Does anyone know of any BBS's or FTP sites which have this program (the version off of FF #215) -Roger

I'm sure he will be releasing it soon. Be patient, there are LOTs of sources. I failed to send all the files to Bob, but I beleive I've given him all the requred files now, so the release should be soon. I'm glad you liked the old one. The new one is MUCH nicer. The '020/881 code is quite fast. Hope you like it.

The zoom out fucntion , the pan function, new gadgets, julia curves, wonderful multitasking and the overall professional look allows for one of the best PD programs I have seen for the Amiga. I am amazed this beauty is not out on the software shelves of your nearest computer dealer. Anyway, if you dont already have the newest version of MandelVroom, get it! It is a fantastic example of what true multitasking should allow a user to accomplish. On a scale of 1 to 10, this program gets a high 10! -- dean@coplex.UUCP Dean A. Brooks Copper Electronics, Inc.

If there were millions of Amigas out there, then I might have gone commercial. I bought a 1000 years ago so that I could write a better Mandelbrot program, it turned out better than I imagined. I figure I got lot's of the hard tricks off the Fish disks, so I'd make the source available for other less experienced Amiga programmers to learn from. > > Anyway, if you dont already have the newest version of MandelVroom, get >it!
