Michael,
I've written a box counting program for GRASS. It uses bit-flipping
techniques which means that it's very quick, but as a result it may
only run on little endian machines (e.g. Intel-based machines, which
is all I have access to). You can find out more and download the
source code by following the links from my signature.
If you do want to try compling and running the code on a big endian
machine (such as a SPARC), then I can probably put together some
diagnostics which we could use to modify the code.
