This program computes the stochastic webs produced by the Chernikov
equations (see Nature Vol. 326, April 1987) and produces a PGM image
based on occupancy of cells. The equations essentially describe the
path of a non-relativistic charged particle rotating about a magnetic
field line, and experiencing a periodic electric field impulse.

This program computes the stochastic webs produced by the Chernikov
equations (see Nature Vol. 326, April 1987) and produces a PGM image
based on occupancy of cells. The equations essentially describe the
path of a non-relativistic charged particle rotating about a magnetic
field line, and experiencing a periodic electric field impulse. You
need to read the paper to really understand the parameters, in brief
however:

	Alpha is the period between impulses
	K is the strength of the impulse it receives
	U is the phase of the particle
	V is the velocity of the particle

The other parameters are specific to the program namely:

	s is the scaling factor
	n is the number of iterations
	r is the number of rows in the resulting image
	c is the number of columns in the resulting image
