I have been working on a distributed fractal engine for the past two
weeks and I now have something worth showing off.  It is early, early
alpha, limited in features, and probably won't compile unless you have
an SGI, but maybe I can drum up some interest to change this.

Just to make some of you jealous, I can compute the mandelbrot world
at 800x800 pixels to 1000 iterations in less than one second.  Ok, by
the time it gets through the X server it takes maybe two seconds to
get on the screen, but let's not pick nits.

You will need X11R4, Motif libs, a few spare workstations (15 unused
r4000 Indigos will do) and a network with reasonably fast UDP
connections.

Scarf it at your own risk via anonymous ftp from archive.cs.umbc.edu
in /pub/peter/net-fract/net-fract-7-14.tar.Z.

Comments and criticisms welcome.  Remember, she's still a baby and
growing quite rapidly.
