After 18 months of fractating, here are some of my best results.
Any of these that you would like to try for yourself should be prepared
by arranging the parameters for the fractal on a single line, put
in a file called sstools.ini, placed in a directory with fractint 15
or 15.1. Then just run fractint normally, select a graphics mode,
and it will be computed.
I have an IBM clone sx-20 with a landmark speed of 29, computing the fractals
in a 640 x 480 x 256 color mode. The fractals took between 5 minutes
to 18 hrs to compute.
Here they are:

/* I call this one auntem from wizard of oz fame.
The pallette really doen't matter, 'cause its such a whirl wind.
It's a spiral with over 80 arms. about 4.5 hours.
