Jim
     I'm gratified to hear you enjoy the program.  The origin of the program
came out of a general discussion of the Mandelbrot set in the Computer
Recreations column in the August 1985 Scientific American.  I wrote an asm lang
version  for a 64k COCO I at that time (you can still find it over on the COCO
forum--probably will bomb out if try to run it on the III though).  The present
Multi-Vue program is the third incarnation of the program growing out of that
effort.

As it turns out there is a very good article on fractals in the latest
Scientific American (the August issue) and they list several books for further
reading at the end.  The only other thing that comes to mind is the book CHAOS
by James Gleick in which the Mandelbrot set is discussed. This last contains
some beautiful pictures that make the output of my little program look sick. 
Heck with the MM1, I want a Cray.
