    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.

    Running the program with -h flag gives usage info.

    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
