A new version of xfroot (a Martin-fractal root window decorator) is available 
for testing. New features:

      o color and dynamic ("display-as-calculated") options

      o new algorithm for default random fractal parameters which seems
	to generate a higher fraction of "interesting" patterns

Available on uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/xfroot/xfroot.new.shar or by email request
to ejk@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu.  The color option has only been tested on Sun 3 and 
SPARC color servers. Reports of problems (or success) with other color servers
would be appreciated.
