<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I
like mandelbrot pictures since a long time. That time here is a little zoomer
using today hardware :). That little proggy uses two threads: the main thread
computes the mandel set (using a *high* precision), and the second thread
uses DirectX8 textures to smoothly zoom between pictures.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Technical
details: Nothing new exept the mandelset calculation is quite optimized (recursive
routine to avoid computing large flat zone). The program zoom with a total
factor of 2^55 !!! (3.6e16, aproximatly the range beetween human and universe
:-)) And last but not least, the EXE is only 5.5Kb long !!!</font></p>

need to install the great <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/directx/">DirectX8
API</a> to run)</font></p>
