Mira Images is a screen saver for Windows 3.1.  After unzipping these files, 
place the file SSMIRA.SCR in the Windows main directory.  This program 
requires that the Visual Basic version 3 runtime, VBRUN300.DLL be present in 
the Windows\System directory.  This file may be downloaded from various 
on-line services.  With all files in place, the screen saver may be configured 
in the Windows Desktop Control Panel.

This screen saver is freely distributable, though the author asks that it be
distributed without modification, and with all accompanying files:

SSMIRA.SCR
READTHIS.TXT.

This screen saver sequentially draws theoretically infinite variations of
a type of fractal discovered by the physicists, Mira and Gumowski.  I had 
never seen this particular fractal implemented as a screen saver, but felt 
that its everchanging biological-like forms would lend themselves well to this 
"task".  

Written in Microsoft Visual Basic version 2, converted to version 3.
