Short description:
------------------
ChaosPro is a fractal generator using "multi windowing" and "multi threading", 
i.e. you can calculate several fractals at the same time in different windows. 
It can read most of FractInt's and UltraFractals parameter, palette and formula 
files, supporting many of FractInt's fractal types as well as UltraFractal 
formulas (transformations, formulas, colorings). ChaosPro is able to create 
animations by using keyframes: Almost each parameter and/or parameter 
combination can be animated. The program is able to calculate 3D transformations 
from 2D fractals. It supports 24 bit and thus is able to calculate true color 
images, which can be saved as either PNG or JPG image files. Its built in 
compiler for user defineable formulas speeds up fractal calculation times.

New in version 3.0:
- better compatibility with UltraFractal
- fractal type "Quaternion" added for true 3D fractals.
- alpha channel feature added
- bugs removed
- several other slight enhancements and bug fixes

New in version 3.02:
- just bug fixes
