Smnd is a program which allows "interactive" exploration of the Mandelbrot
and Julia sets, in addition to any of the generalized 2-d "Escape Time
Fractals." The calculation algorithm is written in highly optimized PPC
assembly and should result in realtime display updates on any 100mhz+ PPC.
This allows for realtime animations of Julia sets as one traces out points
in the Mandelbrot set!

Here is a brief list of Smnd's features. Smnd provides facilities for
continuous variation of parameters, realtime panning, realtime zooming
in/out, magnification of regions, displaying a point's orbit, display
scaling, 256 levels of undo, palette controls, palette load/save, set
load/save, export of QuickTime movies(beta), and extensive control over the
program's configuration and display.

System Requirements:
PPC Macintosh(100mhz+ recommended).
System 7.0 or better.
512k of free memory.
256 color display or better.
