Hello, Alberto Negri !! What is best depends on what you want to do and what types of fractals you are wishing to create. If you want to know what over 2,150 people prefer using, then some statistics may be found at this URL: http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/Most_Used_Counts.html +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SHORT AND SIMPLE: The fractal related newsgroups get a lot of requests regarding fractal information. The following is by no means an exhaustive listing. (For the exhaustive list see the next section of this document.) Just below is a listing of a few of the programs (some freeware; some shareware) frequently used by persons posting to the binary newsgroups.
