Status: RO ANNOUNCING: ----------------- | LYAPUNOVIA V1.5 | ----------------- -Displaying the Juiciest Object in Mathematics. Copyright 1992/93 Jesper Juul DESCRIPTION: Lyapunovia is a mindboggingly colorful program that produces fractal pictures from a simple mathematical formula called "Lyapunov Space". Lyapunovia is by far the fastest Amiga implementation of this formula. Lyapunovia pictures vary from colorful candy to mean metal (or something), offering you everything you ever wanted in visual representation of mathematical abstractions. Lyapunovia has been programmed with flexibility in mind: It works fine on a 512K A500 with no harddisk, but it can also take advantage of AGA graphics and the internal FPU of the A4000. The program is Shareware. Is has been thoroughly tested. FEATURES: Lyapunovia V1.5 features: -Runs on all Amigas. -AGA support. -Optimized version for 68020+ CPUs. -FPU support. -Allows a zoom factor of 10,000,000,000,000,000! -24 bit output. (To 65000 x 65000 pixels.) PLEASE NOTE: The previous version (1.0) was released as a limited, but working, shareware program, with the full version only avaliable upon registration. This time I decided to release the complete program for everybody to enjoy. However, registrations have dropped radically since that! I haven't decided yet, but if the registration rate doesn't pick up within a month or two, the next version of the program will be for the registered users only. I am currently implementing AREXX and elaborate animation facilities, including camera "swoops" over evolving fractals. (Both to standard Anim7 and to 24-bit formats.) Furthermore, I'm looking into other types of fractals and the possibility of an xfrac.library standard. (Fractal programmers, please contact me.) So don't count on the others to do it! _Every_ registration makes a big difference, as a both financial _and_ personal incentive for me! DISTRIBUTION: Lyapunovia is Freely Redistributable, as long as you distribute all the files in the release! It may not, however be sold for more than a nominal copying charge. Fred Fish gets express permission to include the program in his library. THIS RELEASE: Release 1.5 includes: -The Lyapunovia program and documentation. (In plain text and AmigaGuide format.) -Nico Francois' ReqTools.library. -A set of (IFF) palette files. -A set of Lyapunovia coordinate files. -A set of (IFF) pictures. REQUIREMENTS: An Amiga. RELEASE DATE: May 26th, 1993. (Yes, this posting is _very_ late!) AVALIABILITY: You'll find the program on Fish Disk #877. And anonymous FTP at: nic.funet.fi: pub/amiga/graphics/fractals/Lyapunovia-1.5.lha wuarchive.wustl.edu: /systems/amiga/aminet/gfx/misc/Lyapunovia15.lha Plus mirrors of the above. PRICE: The suggested shareware fee is 10$. AUTHOR: The author can be reached at: Jesper Juul Guldsmedgade 34, 1.
