	Truemand ~ v3.5 ~ Win3.1/Win9x/NT/Me/2000 ~ 413 Kb
	author: Ron Barnett Home page: http://www.hiddendimension.com/futils.html [no longer available?] Truemand is an excellent Windows attempt at reproducing Fractint's functionality, but with true color results. Can work with 256 colors displays. Excellent documentation. Very slow. Last revision: 3 January 1999.

	TS Fractal Explorer ~ v3.01 beta ~ Win9x/NT/Me/XP ~ 155 Kb
	author: Sergei Dolgov Home page: http://home.onego.ru/~sdolgov/dir.htm This is a fractal generating program that uses the TS Graphics Library v1.0 beta (as if that were important) to plot its images. It's pretty simple and slow. Images, which doesn't look that good, can be saved as BMP files. May have some secrets deep inside. No documentation. Last revision: 07 June 1998.

Ultimate Fractals ~ v1.3 ~ Win9x/Me/NT ~ 348 Kb

author: Terence Sattar
Home page: direct download
This is a nice, simple and small (though powerful) fractal generator that can do some very nice works. It's pretty fast, compared to other generators. The only drawback is that you can't work freely with color palettes, yet it can do more than some others in this respect. Images can be saved as parameter files (to reuse later) or BMP files. Although its author stopped working on this project several years ago, the software is still available from fractovia.org (with the authors permission). Read the DSICLAIMER (second icon) before downloading.

Vchira ~ v0.5 ~ Win9x/Me/NT ~ 1.14 Mb

author: Stephen C. Ferguson
Home page: http://www.eclectasy.com/Iterations-et-Flarium24/
Another great fractal generator from Stephen Ferguson's genius, Vchira was (and possibly still is) the first freeware fractal generator (as far as I know) to introduce layers and alpha channels. And it is as good as all of the other software in Ferguson's outstanding collection. Source code available. Vchira versions 0.5 and 0.4 are freely available from Ferguson's home page.

Windows Chaos Image Generator ~ v2.00 ~ Win9x/NT/2000 ~ 242 Kb

author: Thomas Hövel
Home page: http://www.hoevel.de/e_main.htm
WinCIG is another very simple Mandelbrot set generator that is very easy to use. Most of its processes are automated, so users only have to use the mouse to draw a little rectangle covering the region they want to zoom in. Automatically, a small window with some extra parameters will pop-up, allowing the modification of any value. Also comes with a palette editor. Images can be saved in BMP format.
