	Thank  you  for purchasing Mand2000.  We hope you enjoy using it to
explore  the  world  of  fractals.  If you have any problems with Mand2000,
please contact us by mail or by e-mail, and we will try to help you out.

	The  Mand2000 demo disk may be distributed free of charge - see the
readme on that disk for more details.



                               Installation:

	To install Mand2000, make a directory on your hard drive, or format
a  floppy  disk,  and  copy  the  Mand2000  and  TweenPlayer  programs, and
Mand2000.help  to  that  directory.   This can be done by just dragging the
icons  to  the  drawer  using  Workbench.   Then  you should copy the ARexx
scripts  to  your rexx:  directory.  Even if you don't program in ARexx you
should  still  copy  these  scripts  because  they  add some very nice menu
commands.   To  copy the ARexx scripts to rexx:  simply double click on the
InstallRexx  icon.   To  protect  yourself  against  the possibility of the
distribution  disk  becoming  unreadable  we  encourage  you to make backup
copies  of the Mand2000 distribution disk.  You may also want to adjust the
`Tool  directory'  in  the `Set misc' menu to point to the drawer where you
install Mand2000, or else assign Mand2000:  to the installation drawer.



                             Trouble shooting:

	Mand2000  runs  on all Amigas with AmigaDOS 2.0 or higher and makes
full  use  of  the  AGA  chipset  when  present.   It  has  been tested for
compatibility  on  Amiga  2000s,  3000s, 4000s, 500s and 1200s, with 68000,
68020,  68030  and  68040 processors, and should run on all other models as
well.

	If  Mand2000  fails to run properly on your machine, the problem is
usually  due  to  some  other  program  on  your  Amiga which is corrupting
Mand2000's  memory.   Try  removing  all  non-Commodore  programs from your
WBStartup and user-startup and see if this fixes the problem.



	This disk contains:

	Mand2000 - the main program!
	TweenPlayer - for playing tweened zoom movies.
	KochSnowflake - simple animated fractal.
	SimpleMand  &  SimpleMand.c  -  simple  Mandelbrot set, with source
code.
	MandToPi  &  MandToPi.c  -  program and source code demonstrating a
strange mathematical relationship.
	ReadMe - this file.
	ARexx  directory - this directory contains the ARexx scripts, ARexx
documentation  and the ARexx install script.  IMPORTANT - Install the ARexx
scripts  even  if  you  don't  program  in  ARexx,  as  this  will give you
additional menu commands.
	Pictures   directory   -   nice   fractal   pictures.    To  ensure
compatibility  with  all Amigas these pictures do not use AGA graphics.  If
you  have  an  AGA machine we recommend you recalculate these pictures with
AGA colours and resolutions.
	UncalcedPics directory - more nice pictures - coordinates only.
	Icons directory - If you copy this icon to Env:Mand2000/def_Palette.info
then  whenever  you  save a palette, this icon will be used for the palette
file.
	Mand2000Tech.doc  - technical information, mostly file formats used
by Mand2000.
	Mand2000.help - the online help - this should always be in the same
directory as Mand2000.



                         Also by Cygnus Software:

	Cygnus  Software's  other major product is CygnusEd.  CygnusEd is a
high  performance text editor, featuring what is probably still the fastest
scrolling and text rendering of any editor on the Amiga today.  Add to that
such  invaluable  features  as  unlimited  undo, etc., etc.  Version 3.5 of
CygnusEd was extensively updated to take advantage of the features that 2.0
has  to  offer.   3-D  gadgets, public screens, the standard file, font and
screen requesters, and the full AGA screen resolutions.  Meanwhile CygnusEd
still  maintains  full  compatibility  with  version  1.3  of the operating
system,  bringing  the  3-D  gadgetry  to  1.3.   CygnusEd  3.5's macro and
configuration  files  and  ARexx  scripts  are  almost 100% compatible with
earlier  versions.  CygnusEd is published by ASDG Inc., and is available in
Amiga  stores  for a suggested retail price of $119.95.  Remember, although
CygnusEd  was  written by Cygnus Software, it is sold through ASDG, and NOT
through Cygnus Software.

	Mand2000 was created with CygnusEd and Aztec C.



	Enjoy!
