This is a new book (Fractals. Fractal Programming in C., by R.T. Stevens, ISBN 1-55851-037-0), and I am thinking of bying it. Does anybody have any comments on this book ? It comes with or without a disk. Is the disk worthwhile ? Thanks. -- George Georgiou Computer Science Department Tulane University New Orleans, LA 70118 georgiou@rex.cs.tulane.edu

The only problems I have is 1) He used Turbo C to compile the libraries, I have Quick C. 2) His Hercules Routines Do Not Work with my TRUE Hercules Card. I would suggest getting the book, with disk. I am solving 1 by recompiling, and 2 by rewritting using the Quick C library ( also lets me have 1 version for both Hercules & our EGA/VGA systems on campus) Hopes this Helps Jay B. Harlow Jay B.
