Hi anybody out there,

I implemented a fast (MSet) fractal generator on a transputer machine and
I'm quite satisfied in terms of speed (If I have enough processors) BUT:

If I zoom in too much, the precisicion of the built in (IEEE-double
precisicion arithmethic) isn't good enough. So, are there any algorithms
which can emulate higher precisicion using standard (double-prec.)
operations (mult/add/div/...)??

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

                                Steffen.
