Mandelbrot Plot
===============
In the dim and distant past, BF (Before Fractint), Mandelbrot plotting was
a slow and cumbersome business. This program kind of changed all that.
Written in 100% assembler, and using advanced graphics techniques such as
dithering (!), it will come up with a passable rendition of the Mandelbrot
set in under 7 minutes. Given that my 486-100 has 50 times as many megahertz,
four times as many bits *and* can execute two instructions at once (or
something) it is surprising that Fractint is so slow (especially seing as
it cheats and uses the symmetry of the Mandelbrot set). Once again, the Beeb
comes up trumps!

The program originally appeared in Acorn User, September 1989 or so I think.
They later printed a raytracer -- written in BASIC of course :-)
