1. Fractal-Top 3.5.3 - 2022 latest. With Java (Oracle or IBM's Semeru) installed, just double click the jar file to run it. (Yes, JavaQuat is now Fractal-Top.)
   
   • All: FTnJ3.5.3.zip (5.3Meg includes Jars for Fractal-Top and Fractal-Top-Joiner & outdated documentation that I'm currently working on.)
   • There are many fixes and additions. Major changes are (1) infinite precision, and thus unlimited zooms, in the loops for the Mandelbrot and Mandelcube fractals and Julia sets, (2) parallel processor draw for multi-core (multi-CPU) computers, (3) point orbit plotting and (a first attempt at) counting and finding the attractors in the orbit.
   • I'm working on the documentation and hoping to have it available by the end of January 2023. Source may be available at some later date.
   
   
   Older versions.
2. JavaQuat 2.14 Executable jar - 2007 update, just double click the jar file to run it.
   
   • All: JavaQuat214.zip (1.8Meg includes source & RectJoiner, compiled with JRE 1.4.2)
   • RectJoiner.jar (zipped) (116 K) - joins small gifs into big ones. Compiled with JRE 1.4.2_06.
3. JavaQuat 2.04 (Compiled with Java 1.1.7)
   2.03 had a horizontal one-pixel-off problem when drawing slow lines.
   Known problems have been fixed. If there's a problem send email.
   • Mac: JavaQuat2.04-8-1-00.sit.hqx (872K)
     
   • Other: JavaQuat2.04-8-1-00.tar.gz (338K)
     

• From IBM Semeru Java 17.05 (No legal strings attached.)
• From Oracle (Legal strings attached if not for personal use.)
• OpenJDK from Oracle (with no strings attached). Look for "Ready for use:"

I use Java 1.6 (from Sun and pretty old) and I have just discovered that the Semeru and OpenJDK Javas run with a SecurityManager by default. What a pain! I've tried editing the /conf/security/java.policy file to add all permissions but I'm still unable to use the file system on my PC to read or save fractals. I'll work on this and post the answer here when I find it but much on-line documentation is out of date, it seems. So it may be January of 2023 before I have time to devote to this. If you know what I should do please send an email to my email address that is below.
