I also recommend the book _The Beauty of Fractals_, but caution you, these
fractals are mostly of mathematical interest.  If you are looking to generate
fractal mountains and terrain, the book is not for you (although, if I had
the money, I'd buy it anyway, since the pictures are so beautiful.)

I have recieved good results with a GS and a BASIC algorithm for the Mandelbrot
set, although the BASIC program (with a '225' color pallete -(actually 16
with 15 repeated, and black for the set itself)-) took about 14 hours to
run.  It came out great.  Now, if I could only get Paintworks to load it...

Which brings up my question.  I have 2 (count them, two) super-res savers,
both of which apparently have the same flaw, as they only save 33 blocks,
and a messed-up 33 blocks at that.  Now, I saved the picture by moving it
into main memory (at 00/1000-00/8FFF), and can load it repeatedly, but I
can't get Paintworks to load the file (even when I change the filetype to
$C1).  Could anyone help?  Is there a catch to these save programs that
I'm missing?
