Description: real-time interactive fractal zoomer
 XaoS allows you to zoom and pan around a fractal in real time. It can display the animated fractals in graphical
 or even plain text mode.

 It displays the Mandelbrot set or many other fractals and allows you to zoom smoothly into the fractal. Various
 coloring modes are provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In addition, switching
 between Mandelbrot and Julia fractal types is provided.

 Other features include autopilot mode, palette changing, image saving, fractal inversion, filters, and a built
 in fractal tutorial.

Of course you're the expert so would be able to throw more light on the matter :)
