Full functional program for rendering Mandelbrot & Julia fractals with different
exponents.
Tested and developed under WinUAE and QEMU Sam460ex board emulators, so many
thanks to Toni Wilen and Zoltan Balaton for their GREAT efforts :-)
Uses Arexx port, Localization, Arbitrary precision math and don't need any
installer, just click 'n run!
C sources are also included, you can recompile it just typing MAKE!
It's fast even on emulated Amigas and can render even with direct memory access
(TURBO OPTION)
..under WinUAE it's faster than many others x86 native fractal programs  ;-)
Saved pictures can be reloaded and further explored at all supported screen's
resolutions.
It's really cool and totally free ;-)

Altivec code is developed and tested under Powermac G5 Quad hardware with MacOSX
Leopard 10.5.8 OS and XCode 3 IDE && Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LinuxPPC OS and
CodeBlocks IDE
Many many thanks and greetings to my friend Edgar Schwan (FlashMandel
CoDeveloper).

FlashMandelNG_OS4 is Giftware, 
If you like it please sent nice goodies to author just like gold medals,
bitcoins, euros or us dollars ;-)
..A common postcard is ok too!

New in this version:
(Re)Enabled AREXX support (Please download and install AWNP_2-54.lha archive
from Aminet to let it run)
Fixed tooltypes

To Do:
AmigaOne Tabor A1222 specific SPE version
Use multiple precision math as default and use hardware fpu
untilunderflow/overflow limits are reached
Implement GMP multiprecision libraries
Improve AREXX Benchmark Mode script to test speeds of different Amiga platforms
Update the very old documentation - Amigaguide

*** Please let me know if Altivec version runs fine in this new version ***
