INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    No installation required and no temporary files created. Just unzip
    MANDEL.ZIP and run the executable.


MANDEL PURPOSE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This program computes the Mandelbrot set in an acceptable
    resolution (320x200x256) at good speed, using a convergence
    acceleration method for iterated series.
    
    It also includes zooming capabilities precise enough to generate
    accurately the set in 1/100 by 1/100 regions of the complex plan.
	

USAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    When the program is running, you can use teh following keys:

	ARROWS      to move de selection crosses 
	CRTL+ARROWS to move de selection crosses quicker
	SPACE       to set a 'square' selection
	            (press once or two times when setting the second cross)
	ENTER       to validate de selection
	ESCAPE      to reset the last selection cross OR
	            to go back to the previous zoom   OR
		    to exit the program        


MANDEL SPECIFICATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This code was optimised for an I86 processor with some floating
    point capabilities.  It was compiled DOS mode on Borland C4.5.

    This code is built in a way the Mandel class is fully independant
    of any video hardware.  However, you'll need to carry the adress
    of a SET_PIXELS_CALLBACK function to the constructor of the mandel
    class in order to use any other screen resolution or graphic card
    than a VGA adaptator, mode 13h.

    Feel free to reuse the code included in the package and to let me 
    know if you find bugs.
