Short: Mandelbrot&Julia generator w. ARexx
Author: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Uploader: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Type: gfx/fract
_____________________________________________________________________________
Changes made since 1.14:
Just the fix of few typos
_____________________________________________________________________________
Yes, I know that there are more than enough mandelbrot fractal generators
in the net, really... If you want some reasons why to use this program, here
we go:
- Three algorithms for Mandelbrot sets, six for Julia sets.
- Six different math implementations (IEEE single/double,FFP,
fast-integers for '000 and '020 and FPU) for optimal speed,
written in hand-tooled assembly language.
- Highest speed, optimized for big magnifications.
- ARexx support (Sample Mandelbrot movie generator script for
movie generation together with DPaint V included.)
- Monitor ID support, but untested on GfxBoards.
- Supports EHB for 64 colors on ECS machines.
- Last but not least: It's free.
At least, the program is free. The guide isn't...
The guide is not yet existing, I will start typing it as soon as somebody is
interested and wants to pay money for it. Write an email to this address:
thor@math.tu-berlin.de
The suggested price for the manual will be between $10 and $20.
A sample set of EHB pictures generated by DMandel is available, see
DMandelPics.lha at pix/fract.

Installation:
-Unpack this archive whereever you want.
-If you're still working with the original CBM mathieeedoubbas
library, a patch is needed since this library is broken.
(The compare-function is broken for negative numbers of
small absolute value).
The patch is included in the "MathIEEEPatch" drawer, installation
works like this:
1) Copy the file LIBS:mathieeedoubbas.library to RAM:
2) Copy the file mathieeedoubbas.pch, which comes with this archive,
to RAM:
3) Copy the program spatch, which is also included in this archive,
to ram:
4) Change the directory to ram: with
cd ram:
5) Apply the patch with
spatch mathieeedoubbas.library
6) Copy back the file RAM:mathieeedoubbas.new to
LIBS:mathieeedoubbas.library. It contains the fixed library.
If any problems arise, make sure you use the original (CBM) version
of the library!
How to install the main program:
-Start DMandel by double clicking its icon.
-Read the startup window. Close it by clicking on "O.K."
-Select the menu point "Arexx Command" of the project menu.
-Select the script "CreateStartup.rexx"
-Follow the instructions.
Greetings,
Thomas
