MandelFly 0.9b is a Freeware program
It was written by Ola Andersson 1995 - 1996

These are the switches you can use when working from the
command line:

Usage 1:   mandel  [ OutFileName ] [ switches ]                 [default]

Switches:  /Dxx           = Factor to decrease when zooming     [0.05]
           /H             = display program usage
           /Mxx           = Maximal iteration per pixel...      [150]
           /Pfilename     = palette filename                    [default.map]
           /Sxx           = number of steps to zoom             [100]
           /Tx:nnn        = target mandel x-coordinate
           /Ty:nnn        = target mandel y-coordinate
           /Vx:nnn        = Maximal screen x-xoordinate         [320]
           /Vy:nnn        = Maximal screen y-xoordinate         [200]
           /W             = Writing mode is ON                  [Off]
           /Z             = Zooming mode is ON                  [Off]

Usage 2:   mandel  [ InFileName ] [ /R ]
           /R             = Restore mode is ON                  [Off]

Since this is a lastyear work, It should be fully commented and
greatly structured and lots of theory behind everything that is
done. I will later on (before the deadline, 23 of March) release
a fully commented version (Major > 0) of this program.

All comments or changes that you think will increase the
performance/useability should be sent to [md94-pan@nada.kth.se]
(the english spelling is also OK to make comments on).

Remember this is a "ZERO point nine Beta" release, There will be alot
of stuff that won't work nor make any sense. The file io handling routines
are extremely short and could cause damage (lost clusters...)
when something isn't as it should be, insuffient diskspace, abnormal
program termination .....). So if you feel insecure with computers
and do not know how to run chkdsk (scandisk, ndd...) after strange action,
just skip using the program, one solution is to use a single computer with
the only purpuse to calculate ".fly" files allday long.

The perfect mandelfly computer has some intresting data:
Pentium 150, 2.3 Gb HD and about 200kb of internal RAM :).

I can not take any responsibility for any damage caused by an action of
this program or any file generated by this program or any file included
in this zipfile [mfly0_9b.zip].

I refer to the readme.txt for more comments/information about this program.
