STARTING OUT
------------
After clicking on the M.A.K. icon you will see the Mandelbrot 
Adventure Kit window for a second then the screen will go 
blank during which time the program will load the title page.  
The title page will fade in about 5 seconds, and at that point 
you will be in M.A.K..  You should set up all parameters first; 
if you have questions about any of the sections that you have 
to deal with, consult the Info item on the 1st menu.  Remember 
in order to see a fractal YOU MUST SELECT THE APPROPRIATE ZONES 
AND CLICK THE O.K. GADGET; this gives the program permission to 
use those colors. 

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
------------------
Keep in mind that high magnifications require more iterations.  
If you have set the zones and you still aren't seeing a picture, 
perhaps the number of iterations are not high enough or you have 
chosen values that are in an area considered as infinity (in 
which case no amount of iterations will be sufficient to see a 
picture).  Speaking of high magnifications, this program is 
capable of generating correct fractals up to a magnification 
factor of approximately 100,000.  The magnification factor can 
be found by taking the smallest distance between either the real 
or imaginary parameters and dividing that number into 1.  

For example, the fractal in the Pictures directory named Mand_4 
has a magnification factor of 98,039.  Found by taking the 
difference of the imaginary parameters 
(0.1130139 - 0.1130037 = 0.0000102) and dividing that number 
into one (1 / 0.0000102 = 98,039.21569).

Once you start a drawing YOU CANNOT SAVE WHILE THE DRAWING IS 
STILL ACTIVE.
This can be done as soon as the drawing has finished.

FINAL NOTES
-----------

I wish I could have put all the pictures I generated on this 
disk (I had to leave off some real beauties).  Be aware that 
some of these generations can take a LONG time to finish.  The 
picture Mand_5 took more than 38 hours to generate completely.

The parameters contained in the Parameters directory are a very 
valuable source of information on how I generated these pictures.  
If you load in the parameters, you can go through each of the 
requesters (for that particular image) and see how to set things 
up so you have a general idea of where to start from for your own
creations.

All the source has been arced with zoo.  If you want to reconstruct 
the program you'll need to unarc the source then compile everything 
that needs compiling and type execute blink.lin at the cli prompt.  
I used Lattice version 5.1.1 and compiled everything with lc -fim
<filename> except Information.c which has to be compiled with lc -b0.


Have fun.....
