Description

I hardly need introduce Benoit B. Mandelbrot's fascinating discovery. A Google search on "Mandelbrot Set" turned up "about 35,900" hits as I was writing this; many of them will probably give a better introduction than I can, so I'm going to completely pass over what it is, and just give code to compute it.

Notes

I sold my HP-85B to Museum of HP Calculators years ago, so may not be very useful for support, but you're always welcome to ask....

Example

None given. This is a "hardcoded" example to be executed directly. Exploration of the Mandelbrot set is done by varying the DATA statement at line 210, then re-executing the program.
