 From the help text:

This stack is a tribute to the memory of Bill Marriott — one of his  
last little side projects was the initial Mandelbrot Explorer stack,  
which he offered to the RunRev mailing list as an example of the power  
of the Revolution environment. Bill worked out the calculation  
handlers after teaching himself the basic math of complex numbers in a  
few days, and put together a stack that created black-and-white images.

With the view that a fitting tribute to Bill's memory would be a Rev  
project, I expanded his stack to create color images, moved the  
controls into a palette, and stored the calculated dwell values in a  
customprop so that colorization could be adjusted without  
recalculation, which speeds things up considerably especially for high  
iteration parameters. The colorization scheme is mine but many other  
algorithms are possible.

Bill's contributions to RunRev will long be with us. His brief foray  
into fractals was a tiny sideline, but when you use this stack you can  
remember him.
