Harvey/ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Dear Daves,
I have finally got around to adding the dragging to the mastermind program I submitted last year. I have also written a fractal program, on a iteration I don't think you have included before. It runs in the desktop, but the main part is non-multitasking, for speed (as it is all written in BASIC, due to difficulties with floating-point in assembler). There are !Help files inside both directories, and I have also included screenshots of both programs, and example files for !Chaosymm.
Yours,
James Harvey.
P.S. I am not 100% sure about the formulas for the iterations, as the book I used has gone back to the library now. You should be able to get them from the program if they are wrong though.
