Description:

!mandysbit is a floating point mandelbrot set generator.  It uses the
standard IEEE floating point instruction set so it will function with
the floating point emulator but only shows its true potential with an
FPA10 or FPA11.  It uses an adaptive scanning algorithm that reduces
the time taken to draw the set by a significant amount (~10 times
faster than a raster scan algorithm).
