That's the trouble with Cds, there's room for pics. It must have been the First Edition floppy (or was there another earlier book?). And it may have been on the cover, but definitely a colour pic inside if not. It was a 3d transform, a fantastic mountain range.
Packrat that I am, I've still got both books complete with disks/CD (1st ed. German translation, however, so I don't know what has been on the cover of the US original). In the text of 1st and 2nd edition are parameter sets called MTMAND (2nd ed., page 180) and MTMAND3D (2nd ed., page 205) for heightfield image and 3d-transformation, respectively - but there's no image either in the book or the CD from these pars. What you probably have in mind is on the colour poster that came with the 1st edition, called MTROCK (by Norman L. Hills) - no parameters (that I know of) for the creation of this image. Just to be on the safe side, below are MTMAND and MTMAND3D.
