Not sure where this came from (ftp.mpg.net perhaps). It's a fairly small
and simple program that generates rather nice looking fractal maps in GIF
format. It should run on DOS or *NIX.
If anyone is interested, I can E-mail it to you.
The following is cut from the read.me file:

Planet2d.zip
Author: Jouni Aro <jaro#hut,fi>
This one released in late December 1993
This package contains a small planet-creator. It calculates maps of
random planets. So you can use it for example for making your own
fantasy world.
The algorithm is based on some fractal math, and it is written
by Torben Mogensen <torbenm#diku,dk>, so if you have questions about
it it may be better ask him. I used to have his earlier version
that used floating point operations and it used to be real slow.
Now he has improved the code; changed from floating point to integer
math and made some other enhancements as well. It used to take
several hours from my 386 to make a VGA-sized map, which
will now be ready in few minutes.
