Kay. I sent Mark a response to his inquiry that might be of interest to you also. Two introductory books about fractals are: "Fractals: Form, Chance, and Dimension", and "The Fractal Geometry of Nature". Both are by Benoit Mandelbrot. And now, could someone recommend any other, more advanced, books on fractals? These two books are a little skimpy on the algorithms that Mandelbrot developed. -- John L.
