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.
FractalWeave is an image generator which uses fractal-based patterns
to construct scenes of astonishing complexity and beauty. By varying a
small number of parameters, you can create a practically infinite
variety of stunning images.
**************
NOTE: THIS VERSION OF FRACTALWEAVE REQUIRES WINDOWS 3.1!
