If it isn't, use the INSTALL.EXE program to switch to Powerview. 2) Start up the VIEW program. 3) Choose a directory that contains images. 4) Choose a fractal image. 5) When the fractal image is on your screen, press the "A" key. This will start Powerview's color cycling feature. Many of the fractals will now seem to be moving, shifting, and spiralling on your screen! Try some of the following keys: G ...................... Color-kill on/off (or greyscale) I ...................... Inversion on/off A ...................... Cycle palette on/off (press ESC, a mouse button, or "A" to stop cycling) C ......................
