Announcing MandelbrotTool version 1.0
What is it?
-----------
MandelbrotTool is a SunView based programme to calculate and display the
Mandelbrot set and associated Julia sets. Features include saving and
loading images to and from disc, zoom functions, changing and rolling the
colourmap and calculating images using a process on a remote machine in a
network. Also included is a facility for animating a zoom into the
Mandelbrot set as well as animating a sequence involving Julia sets.
Where can I get it from?
------------------------
MandelbrotTool is available via anonymous FTP from one of two places:
(1) titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30)
Directory: sun-source
(2) oersted.ltf.dth.dk (129.142.66.16)
Directory: pub/sunview
In both cases the source can be found in shar kit form in the files
MandelbrotTool-1.0_kit0{1-4}. Once the files have been unpacked follow the
instructions in the README file to make and use the programme.
