                     MandAni and JuliAni
                              
       This is a collection of quasi Mandelbrot and Julia series
     fractal animation.  The animation's are done real-time, and alot
     of calculations are required, so the screen refresh is about 2
     frames per second on a 486, and about 1 frame per second on a
     386.  Most of the code was done in assembly.  I am still new to
     assembly, so don't critique the code.  I also did not document
     the code much.
     
       I tried writing this animation code before, calculating every
     point per frame.  This method was slow.  The code is included,
     called MANDASM6.  This new method I use is not perfect, and
     errors do pop up, but that's what you get for speed.  Basically,
     I take a box and iterate the four corners of it, if it meets the
     size requirement and all four corners iterate to the same value,
     I fill in the box.  If it does not meet the size and iterate
     right, I slit the box into 4 other boxes and run the routine over
     again.  The errors crop up when the four corners are equal, but
     the points inside the box are not.  You will see this error, but
     it is not intrusive enough to care.
     
       There are four different versions of the code for the
     Mandelbrot and Julia series labeled with a suffix of 1-4.
     Version 1 is the Pascal equivalent of version 2, (there is still
     some assembly for the main iteration loop) and is there just to
     show how the code works.  Version 2 is faster than version 1,
     because the main loop is now assembly.  Version 3 is the same a
     version 2, except instead of filling the boxes (mentioned above),
     it just draws an outline.  Version 3 gives a good visual
     representation of how the code works.  Version 4 is the same as
     version 2, except I decided to cycle the palette, for those of
     you who love lava lamps.

       Remember vegetables have rights and should not be stepped on,
     picked, plucked, diced, or eaten.  GOD gave use cows to eat not
     plants.  VRA.....
