Yeah, FractInt will do it. The syntax is something like
x = real(z);
y = imag(z);
z = {x*x - y*y, 2*x*y};
off the top of my head...
The fun part - apparently - is getting FractInt to actually run any
more. Being an old MS-DOS program that manually frobnicates the video
hardware in advanced ways, it doesn't tend to run very happily under
Windoze. (Indeed, you might have more luck with the Linux port...)
