This is a fractal animationes generation package.  The fractal
animations here are some what different from other existing
ones: most availiable animations are zoom-in type, the ones
here are parameter twisters.  By adjusting parameters within
each frame, you get a slight different image.  Thus you have
a different type of fractal animation.

Technically speaking, I am just moving along some different
axes in the multi-dimetional parameter space.

This package contains three sets of fractal animation batch
and configuration files.  You need a seperate .fli encoder
to glue all seperate pieces of images together.

Finished animations are all 72 frames long and can be played
back in a loop.  You may modify rendering options like color
map, tesselation, bof,... etc. to your taste.  Or you may
try a different video configuration.  But beware of file
size...

To generate those beautiful images, I used some formula files
made by other people.  I don't remember if I have made any
modification or not.  If things come out very strange, it can
be the lack of definition to some parameters.  I always add
parameters p1 and p2 to any formula files I got.  To reduce
the possibility that your formula files and mine are not the
same, I included the three of them at the end of this message.

These batch files are generated by a small QBASIC program I
wrote.  I am not going to release it now, because of some bugs
I forgot to kill.  If any of you are interested in generating
fractal movies, you may write your own bug-free version.  I
am not a good programer, all I know is Applesoft :)  My QB
experience is limited and retarded.

Thanks to all of them, Mr. Lewen, Mr. Wareman, and the person
who wrote those beautiful tchebych formulas.  Without your
formulas, a layman like me can not realize all these beautiful
images.

comment {
The fractals in this file are some of my first attempts
at using the formula complier.  (At least those I was willing
to show others <G>).  Comments are welcome as always!
The accompanying parameter file (RCL.PAR) provides a simple
example generated from each formula.
