Additional Information
The main purpose of the first two programs, which generate a sequence of magnified images either flashing or quasi-interlaced, is to provide timing data for an inter-platform benchmark. They generate 128x256 images.

The main purpose for the programs #3 and #4 is to show superior C+4 graphics which can't be reproduced on, for example, the Apple II, Atari 800, BBC Micro, C64, C128, IBM PC CGA, etc. They generate 160x256 images.

The last program allows us to generate images of the Mandelbrot set using arbitrary parameters. The following images are samples of screenshots for the next Mandelbrot set parameters: x in [-2, 0.5], y in [-1.3, 1.3], iterations = 31.
