This  is  an  alpha  release  of  AMountains,  a fractal mountain landscape
generator.   It  is  based on xmountains 2.4 (UNIX, X) by Stephen Booth and
was ported to the Amiga by Michael Böhnisch.

Call  AMountains  -?   for a short description of available options.  For a
quick try set up your Workbench preferences to 640×400 or  bigger  with  as
many colours as possible (256 is nice).

In a shell window now enter

	AMountains -M -r 1 -Z 0 -F 2 -G -2.0 -a 1.5 -p 6.0

Restrictions of this release:

  · the paint window is currently restricted to a 620×380 Workbench window
  · 68020/030 + 68881/2 or 68040 needed
  · task priority fixed to -25
  · no option parameter handling when called from Workbench
  · ugly UNIX-Style option handling (needs complete rework)
  · no source (will be included when finished)
  · no documentation (try "Amountains -?" or "AMountains -H" for now)
