XaoS is an interactive fractal zoomer. It allows the user to
continuously to zoom in or out of a fractal in a fluid, continuous
motion. This capability makes XaoS great for exploring fractals, and
it�s fun!

If you don�t know what fractals are, don�t worry. XaoS includes many
animated tutorials that make learning about fractals fun and easy. These
tutorials are also a great introduction to all of XaoS�s features.

XaoS can display many different fractal types, including Mandelbrot,
Barnsley, Newton, Phoenix, and many more. Fractals can be rendered using
various coloring methods and planes for an almost endless variety of
images. XaoS also supports switching between Julia and Mandelbrot sets
for each formula.

XaoS currently runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix-like
systems. Older versions are available for DOS, BeoS, and more.

I may learn something about fractals yet (so far I've just given this
app a quick whirl).

That is great find Susan, I've been struggling for ages to try to get
Fractint
http://spanky.triumf.ca/www/FRACTINT/FRACTINT.HTML
to run under Vista,

Thanks.

You could also test this fractal generator program

ChaosPro
http://www.chaospro.de/

It got updated March 13 (2010)



Features:
http://www.chaospro.de/features.php


Requirements:
* Windows operating system (Win95 and above, including Windows XP)
* Screen resolution: Minimum 1024x768 , Truecolor recommended
* Pentium processor recommended (works on 200Mhz), but the faster the
better.
* 64 MB minimum, again: the more the better.

Yahbut. ;)

http://www.chaospro.de/features.php
"ChaosPro runs on all Win32 versions, i.e. ChaosPro runs on Windows 98,
NT, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7. If any other operating system
supports Win32 (under Linux?), then it's possible that ChaosPro runs
there, too." (I sent the author a note about this.)
