Thanks!  I'm glad it is getting around.

  I wrestled with the idea of marketing it, but eventually decided not to.
If there were millions of Amigas out there, then I might have gone commercial.

  I bought a 1000 years ago so that I could write a better Mandelbrot program,
it turned out better than I imagined.  I figure I got lot's of the hard
tricks off the Fish disks, so I'd make the source available for other
less experienced Amiga programmers to learn from.

You know what they say.... "Only Amiga makes it possible!"

Or as Dale Luck said about MandelVroom's multitasking...
                      "Try doin' that on your Mac, Jack!"
