PowerXplorer 1.0.4 info - December 1995

WARNING: REQUIRES MATH COPROCESSOR OR POWERPC

€ PowerXplorer is a small application I wrote to test the Power Macintosh speed
in native floating-point calculations. It draws the Mandelbrot set and lets you
explore it by zooming in and out at will.

€ PowerXplorer is a ³fat² application: it contains code for both the 680x0
processors and the new PowerPC chip. The 680x0 code requires at least a 68020 and
a 68881 coprocessor; it doesn¹t run on a 68LC040 because that chip has no math
coprocessor. PowerXplorer requires 256 colors (or grays) to display the images
properly; with thousands or millions of colors the image is correct, but there¹s
no color animation.

€ PowerXplorer is free. You may give it away to your friends, post it on BBS's or
include it in any non-commercial stuff you can possibly think of, as long as the
application and its documentation are not modified in any way. If you really like
PowerXplorer, send me a postcard. You may include suggestions or bug reports if
you want to.

€ PowerXplorer has a complete online documentation you can access with the ³Info²
button in the main dialog. You may save it as a text file and read or print it
with a text editor.
