    Fractal! draws landscapes using the standard "fractal" method.  A
planar square is divided into four equal squares and each midpoint and
the center of the square are displaced vertically a random amount
constrained by the length of the square.  The process is then repeated a
number of times determined by the parameters.
    
    There is a great deal of user control through parameter settings, 
color settings, and altitude/depth patterns.  Landscapes can be saved as
PICT files.  It is also possible to control the basic shape of the 
landscape by using a "Grid file."

    The program runs on current systems.
