Wow, those are really cool.  (OK, having done simulations myself, I may
be a little biased, but still...)  I really like gradient_large.mng, which
I'm guessing is also a fair approximation to a simulation of sand dunes,
while chemoattr_rev.mng brings to mind what will happen to our atoms when
dark energy becomes the dominant force in the universe. ;-)  aggreg_large.mng
reminds me a lot of what whisker shavings do when dumped in a pool of still
water, which actually is entirely to be expected...

Done!  I've added you to the MNG-images page on the MNG site (libpng.org).

One minor glitch you might want to fix, however:  the final link (close2)
is a hardcoded "file:" link, not a relative path.  The intended file is
there, but most people won't bother trying to paste URL parts together in
order to grab it.

Many thanks,
