I agree, MandelZot is a neat little program.  I have two things on
my wish-list, however:
1.  I'd like to see a data compression algorithm built right into
    the save routines in the program.  I'd rather not have to drag
    out Stuffit to get a file down to reasonable size.

2.  When I was mucking around with my fractal program, a display 
    mode I particularly liked was to recursively subdivide the screen
    into quarters.  Calculate the dwell of the lower right corner and
    color the whole quarter that color.  *Eventually* you get the
    whole picture at maximum resolution, but you also get a good
    feel quite quickly of what it will look like.  Advantage:  if
    it's not interesting, you can go on to something else.
