  Hello to all you netters out there, maybe one of you can help me.  I am
in search of a function that, given a point in the complex plane, will return
the number of iterations it takes to determine if the given point is in the
Mandlebrot (sp?) set. 
  Put more simply, I would call the function in this way :

		s = function(real,imag);
  where 
	s is the number of iterations
	real is the real part of the complex number
	imag is the imaginary part of the complex number.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.
