Robert,
  There are a number of Mandelbrot programs available on the Amiga.  The first
was by Robert French.  It can be found on one of the first 20 Fish Disks.
A number of other Mandelbrot programs have become available since then.
My Mandelbrot program named MandelVroom is available on Fish Disk 128.
The source and executable are both available on that disk.

  There are a number of fractal terrain generators available on the Fish
too.  Also there was really neat program called FractGen released by Fred
recently (e.g. Fish Disk 173-present)

  I hope to be releasing a new version of MandelVroom VERY soon with
many new features:

  multiple picture windows open and generating simultaneously
  picture recoloration while picture is generating
  Julia curve support
  256 contours
  color cycling
  halfbrite support
  workbench or cli
  PAL system support
  orbits
  and many other whizzy things...

  As soon as I get out of beta test, I'll be sending the whole thing to
Bob Page (source and all.)  Actually since Bob is moving out here to
Silicon Valley, I'll probably just give it to him on floppy at a BADGE
meeting.

  I'm also working on a HAM 3D fractal display.  Too many projects,
too little time.

Kevin
