In case anyone is interested, I've got some Lisp code that computes the
Mandelbrot set using what's been being called the Mariani/Silver algorithm
(imagine my dismay at finding out that someone thought of it before me :-/).
Most of the code is TI Explorer specific user-interface stuff, but it will
probably run on a Symbolics without much tweaking.  I think the actual
bitmap-generation is portable Common Lisp.

(On an Explorer II, this baby generates faster than anything I've seen on
a Sun 3/60 or Amiga, even though everyone "knows" that C is faster than Lisp.
So there!)

Anonymous FTP from spice.cs.cmu.edu, in the directory /usr/jwz/public/,
file mandelbrot.lisp.
