Thank you for trying Fractal DNA Imager 1.0 for Windows.  I hope you 
find this DNA sequence analysis utility interesting and useful.

INTRODUCTION

Fractal DNA Imager 1.0 is a user-friendly utility for translating 
letter-based DNA sequences (i.e. ATGC) into sequence-specific fractal
images.  These images facilitate the detection and characterization 
of sequence patterns as well as the comparison of sequences.

Fractal DNA Imager 1.0 was programmed with Microsoft Visual Basic for 
Windows 3.1x.  This program should run fine on any system running 
Microsoft Windows 3.1x, however, for faster imaging a 486 processor 
is recommended.
