Here's 3 more parmfiles I really like.   I'm sure all will notice these use
the same color map I'm so much obsessed with! <g>  Enjoy~

BTW, since i wasn't trying to create an orginal formula, how do i know if
somebody hasn't already created this formula (the messed up one)?

Subject: Re: (fractint) shell to dos
Date: 01 Jun 1998 13:38:26 +0100

I have a question concerning in-memory graphics saving. Does fractint
reserve some memory but the graphical memory to save the picture? If not
(and that's what I guess), could this be done? So when, for some reason,
when the picture is clobbered, a refresh could be made quickly. Not
spontaneously of course, but a key could be assigned for a refresh. This
would allow us fractalers to do (1) anything involving graphics in the dos
shell, (2) allow us to multitask in windows without wasting the image.

Christian

However, under Win95, it does work.  Does fractint read the comspec
environment variable?  I think I tried using that, but had no success...
( <<<<

It seems to me fractint checks neither shell= nor comspec=.

By the way, a free conventional memory space of less than ~ 580 kB? I
personally load a lot of drivers, but never get under 625 kB! Don't you make
use of exp/ext mem?

The problem is *not* video card related at all. Fractint just omits any
saving of video information. It leaves the graphical memory area unchanged
and if during the shell period this part of memory is changed, fractint just
puts the changed part back on the screen. Yes, it is because of bad memory
management. Caused by fractint though!

For one, Angela once said in the context of the multithreading/multitasking
discussion that when focussing on another windows app when being in
fractint, the colors were mixed up when returning to fractint. This is
general for graphical dos apps under windows. In these cases it would be
unfair to point at the dos app as guilty though. But actually the same thing
happens as in the clobbering: the current video info is not correctly saved,
and overwritten. But this is not related to your video card.

Let's avoid conflicts that may arise by calling the changed version
jcamp03pc as the older one has already been posted and already in use by
several artists.

I just wanted to let people know that finally I have new fractals up. It
took 2.5 hours to upload it all onto the server yesterday. There are 5
galleries now. I hope you like 'em.--Alice

http://www.fractalus.com/cheshirecat/gallery.htm


Alice tried to make this posting on May 12.  No one commented on it, and
after I searched my mail files, we decided her posting may never have
made it to the Fractint List.  She also hasn't received any mail from
the list in quite awhile, and can't seem to re-sub.  She'll be working
on that little problem : )

Anyway, to make a long story short (er), I'm posting the message for
her.  Her page is terrific!  Don't miss it!

My first guess would be that you're at the limits of floating-point

Anti-aliasing has been around for a while, it's used quite a bit in all
sort of graphics rendering.

 -     Is there any where that I can read of the process?

I just put up my anti-aliasing description page:

    http://www.fractalus.com/misc/antialias.htm

Frederik Slijkerman talks about anti-aliasing on the Ultra Fractal pages:

    http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/slijkerman/truecol.htm

If you want really detailed explanations, and can stand a bit of math, ask
me privately.

Thanks, Bill!  Here's another batch, using my 3Way
rendering method.  Nothing spectacular, but kind of
different.  It's interesting to compare the effects
of the different methods on the same formula.  I
would have used the same coordinates for the images
in all 3 sets of renderings, but the interesting spots
moved around, depending on the rendering method.

comment {
This formula applies my 3Way rendering method to the
popcorn formula.  These pars, like the other popcorn
pars I've posted, are best viewed at 1024x768 resolution,
although 800x600 will do (there's a lot of very fine
detail).

Beautiful images, Linda!  I may have forgotten to mention it
before - when using FlexBall rendering with many Msets, including
the Mandelbrot set, at the "center" of every flexball (where the
eight segments meet at a point when p1 equals p2) is a little
midget that becomes visible when p2 is less than p1 (it may
take considerable zooming).  In this par I've zoomed into the
center of one of the flexballs in your 06019802 par and reduced
p2 from 0.08 to 0.04.  The image came out rather nice, I think,
thanks to your beautiful colormap.

From: Corey Reed <cjreed@earthlink.net>
Subject: (fractint) can anyone help?
Date: 01 Jun 1998 23:49:26 -0700

I was wondering if I could use Fractint to generate a Poincare map (a slice
of the phase space) for the following system:

D2(x) + x = a sin(theta)
D2(theta) = b x cos(theta)

where D2( . ) is the second derivative with respect to time.
Making the substitution y = D1(x) and phi = D1(theta), the system has 4
dimensions, so obviously I need Poincare maps to get a look at the phase
space. The full system looks like

D(x) = y
D(y) = -x + a sin(theta)
D(theta) = phi
D(phi) = b x cos(theta)

I can do the iteration numerically like this:

x(t + dt) = x(t) + dt * y(t)
y(t + dt) = y(t) + dt * ( -x(t) + a * sin( theta(t) ) )
theta(t + dt) = theta(t) + dt * theta(t)
phi(t + dt) = phi(t) + dt * ( b * x(t) * cos( theta(t) ) )

Still with me? :) Anyway, I want to use Fractint to plot these iterations
somehow. I tried to make my own function file, but I'm not trying to plot a
singe number on the complex plane, so I don't know how to use that feature.
Is there anyway I can do this, or should I turn to Mathematica?

Thanks!!!

Talk of days for which they sit and wait, when all will be revealed."

Subject: (fractint) Fractint on a 400 MHz computer
Date: 02 Jun 1998 14:09:17 -0500

Hi Fractalizens:

Just got word this afternoon that my 400 MHz Compaq Presario 4880
Pentium II was shipped to me today and I can expect it on my doorstep
tomorrow morning.

I discussed the Fractint program with the caller and told him about the
program's not recognizing some video cards. He told me that if I have
any problems in getting it to work on my new machine--it works quite
well on my current 486/66--he will help me to get it working properly.
He's a technician who works solely on the Compaq Presario line and
offered his help because of the long delays getting my new computer
because of some unforseen glitches.

So, the next time you guys may hear from me is when I'm able to use
Fractint on a 400 MHz machine. Keep your Mandelbrots crossed for me,
would you please? Thanks.

Bob

Subject: (fractint) Orgform.exe
Date: 02 Jun 1998 18:43:08 -0400

William,

>
This may already be fix in new version  but I found Orgform gave an
"unspecified exception" running in DOS under Win95 and just hangs in pure
DOS
on a P-II 350.
Worked fine before the upgrade.
<

You're the only one to report this so far. It sounds like the same problem
that people were having with partobat - I'll check with Mike Peters to see
if his solution, which I gather is working for people, can be used in
orgform too.

Incidentally, you can run orgform with an undocumented switch "/dborg" (for
"debug orgform") in addition to any other switches you may be using, which
will cause the program to give information, probably useful only to me,
about the circumstances surrounding the termination of the program. That
won't be of much help when the program hangs the computer, though. :)

Regards,

George Martin

Using the /dborg parameter gives---"Error in file read or write function"
"Programmer refference:  See line 1932"
"Memory allocation error"
"Cannot start COMMAND, exiting"

Noticing that if always fails on the same frm file, I renamed that frm to just
fr and then I got no error message and got the "unspecified exection" message
from Win95.
The rest of the message is "Fault location 095:012a" and "Interrupt 0"

Renaming the file back seems to make it fail on a different frm file.  Judging
from the two failures I would say that /dborg is slowing the machine down just
enough to work for a while.
The unspecified exception is almost instantaneously present and the other one
runs thru 5 or 5 pars then dies

Subject: (fractint) Absolutely the last Popcorn pars
Date: 03 Jun 1998 00:45:47 -0500 (CDT)

comment {
Here are three pars to be used with my FB_Popcorn formula
that I posted a couple of days ago.  These pars are different
in that the image is inverted with respect to a circle of
radius=1 centered at the origin.  But what really makes these
images worthwhile is Linda's colormap.

Paul Carlson
p.s.  I decided to include the formula after the pars.

Subject: (fractint) 3 pars and two frms
Date: 03 Jun 1998 03:44:45 -0700 (PDT)

Hi all! Here's a few pars along with two new formulas that I made. I
am not really sure why comeout the way they do. I started with a
simple taylor expansion of cos(x) and modified the mandelbrot set with
it with hopes of maybe getting it to take on a different shape. Then i
decided to complicate things by finding the taylor expansion about c
and slowly increasing a coefficient. Needless to say this is all
almost completely random :) but they looked kinda neat.....

oh, an I thought they were cool enough to put on my webpage so if you
are too lazy to cut and paste and calculate them (like I often am),
take a look at the last three fractals on my page.

Subject: (fractint) sstools.ini problem
Date: 03 Jun 1998 07:49:07 -0700


	Good morning,

	I have a slight problem.  Not severe but, it should not be.
	It pertains to my sstools.ini file - again!
	When I open Fractint, I get a black screen with the following message on it:

"Fractint found the following problems when parsing commands:
Can't find parmfile=c:\fractint\parms\*.par please check =?(x)   "
The last parenthesis and x are mine because I don't know what to call the
symbol that is there.  It looks like a number 6 with a small upthrust arrow
tip on the stem.
	I am pasting a copy of my sstools.ini file onto this message.
	Can somebody figure out what is wrong?

[fractint]
textsafe=yes
fastrestore=yes
recordcolors=yes
video=sf5
float=yes
parmfile=c:\fractint\parms\*.par
formulafile=c:\fractint\formula
map=c:\fractint\maps

The above parm file line is one that was copied from a template of Jack
Valero - except, of course, I left off the name of his file. 
	All the rest of the sstools.ini file seems to work just fine.

		Thanks				Ray

Do you have a subdirectory (in your Fractint directory) that is named
parms?  If not, you need to create one.

Hi Andrej! I'm sorry it has been so long since your post, and I hope you have
found it already, but in case you have not here is a site that I am just now
looking at and it lists raw2pov amongst its files:) I had kept aside your post
on the fractint list in case I ever found it as I am also using pov and
fractint but have not been very happy with the quality of my (two) attempts at
importing fractals into povray.

http://shell3.ba.best.com/~beale/gforge/  

The site was recommended to me to find Gforge which has been recommended to me
as a heightfield utility. Hope this info helps!  Good luck with Pov-it's fun,
but challenging:)

site, the raw2pov there is source code to be compiled on a unix platform.  I
know I can't use it:(     Sorry if you can't use it.

You'd be surprised by the number of things for Unix that compile fine
on MS-DOS and (especially) Win32 systems.

Where is Wizzle?  Where is Jay Hill?  Is it
summer in southern CA?

Les...

Thank you so much for putting together May's frm's and par's.  750 pars did you
say?? Wow!! 

I picked up the files at your site yesterday and had a delightful time browsing
through the pars.  There were many that I had missed in my own attempt at trying
to keep them straight. I thought folks had really wonderful images to share.

Thanks again

Angela

I wanted to do some more exploring around
my par another_shore and Les St. Clair's cool
Christmas_giftwrap, and downloaded Damien
Jones' formula file from his web site.  There are
many more fomulas and lots of info there.

Subject: (fractint) PAR   oops, sorry list
Date: 04 Jun 1998 23:17:29 EDT

Hi. Yesterday I inadvertantly sent an e-mail to the list that I meant to send
to the individual who had asked the whereabouts of a file a few weeks ago. I'm
sorry for the off-topic post but would like to say Thanks! to Kragen and to
Cindy the Fractal Lady for the information they put up afterwards. Many
thanks!:)

Here is a par from fiddling around in spiderM. Honestly, I don't know how you

Subject: (fractint) Non-sequence numbering and alphabetizing
Date: 04 Jun 1998 20:33:07 -0700


	I have suddenly and unexpectedly developed a new problem - or, rather, my
computer has.
	My par files which have always been alphabetized and the numbering of my
qif files are suddenly not is proper sequence.
	Can anyone explain what happened and what I can do about it?
	Much obliged.

	Unaccountably all came back to order in both the number sequencing and the
alphabetizing.
	Sorry to have troubled anyone.

Paul Gellings,

Your best bet is to use a Windows graphics program to print your images.
FractInt's printing support isn't really designed to handle a large variety
of printers.

comment { words and pars by Mark "Bud" Christenson 6/5/98

My first (presentable) gravijul4, my first fractal in quite a while,
and probably my last for some time to come.  I whipped this 
baby out four days ago, and just got now time to send it.  
Seriously.  I'm busy busting ass (mine) on a new job that's
paying 30-50% of what I'm worth, but it beats unemployment
(barely!) .  Oh, and a Web database volunteer project for 
SFSU/CPEO (anything to get my mitts of a UNIX server), 
and continuing the search for a better job. 

The image is also kind of busy, but I like it (but I don't like
*me* being this busy).  If you want to see how *really* busy 
it is (about as busy as I am), try changing or rotating the palette!


Aloha, Bud

A new version of Truemand is available which now includes a formula parser

Subject: (fractint) Four-in-one Julia Formula
Date: 06 Jun 1998 00:36:49 -0500 (CDT)

This is the most complicated formula I've written but
it is also the most interesting (I think).  Due to the
length of the formula I haven't put comments in it.  I'll
be glad to post a commented version if anyone would like
one.

The pars should be run at the highest resolution possible
(they execute fairly fast) with passes=1.  If you use
passes=t you'll get a pure white screen.

It took me a while to figure out how to do this - I'll
be interested in what you think of it.

Very clever!  Unfortunately, when I tried to zoom in on one of the 4
julias, the results were not as expected!  I think that when I zoomed in =
on
the lower right of the 2nd 4-julias par, only the loer-right 1/4 of that
sub-image showed up in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Sorry, Lee - I should have mentioned that the images can't be zoomed
into.  There's no way I could provide for that.  But I'm glad you
found them interesting.  It sure was interesting writing the formula - I
now know a lot more about the ins and outs of Fractint formulas than
before I started it.

There are a few things I forgot to mention about this formula when
I posted it last night.  There are several things you CAN'T do with
the image, including: zooming in, rotating, moving it in any direction,
and in general, anything that changes the location of any part of the
image on the screen.  This is because I had to "hard code" in location
info for the four images in statements like:

    w = 2 * (pixel + (1,0.75))

which work only for the area in the complex plane of
real(w) = -2 to 2 and imag(w) = 1.5 to -1.5.

Note to developers: it sure would be nice to have the corners info
or the center-mag info available to formulas (it's not, is it?).

The things you CAN do with the formula include: changing the Julia
set coordinates, changing the size factor for any of the four
Julias, and changing the colormap.

The reason I wrote this formula was to see what was possible to
do using some of Fractint's builtin formula variables (scrnpix
and scrnmax) that I've never used before.  I will probably be
playing around with crazy formulas like this one a little more.
I'll post anything that I think is interesting.

I am very much impressed with Phil DiGiorgi's Pd-hc_grav2 formula. It
combines a variation of an extremely versatile formula - Bud
Christenson's Gravijul - with one of Paul Carlson's coloring methods,
and gives no less than seven user definable parameters in the process.
That is a winning combination! I already posted several pars based on
this formula, but I don't really want to post any more, since I have 50
of them. But I invite you to visit my web site where I put 21 of them on
a page of their own - click the link "Images based on PD-HC_GRAV2
formula." If interested, you can also download all 50 pars. I hope you
enjoy them. Thanks Phil for a great formula.

Paul,

A very impressive and interesting formula.   The upper left seems to use the 3D_Balls method, and
lower right the Shields method.   Which are the other two?

BTW, I saved a copy of the 4juls_1 image in 5 different resolutions.   It is perfect for tweaking
monitor calibration settings for Fractint.

Thanks, Phil!  The formula names for the four Julias are (as best I
can remember)

    Cdp_Julia               Mandel_Rings (Julia version)

    3D_Stalks_Julia         Shields_Mset (Julia version)      

The Cdp_Julia is similar to the 3D Balls method, but uses a faster
rendering method.

I'm glad you found a use for one of the images.

I'll be posting a revision of this formula soon which incorporates
modifications by Sylvie Gallet that allow for some zoom capabilities.
I'll also be posting an Mset version of the formula - the changes to
do that should be trivial (famous last words!).

suggesting to me how I might add zooming to the formula. I tried
her suggestions but couldn't get them to work.  The problem was
that I was trying to zoom in on a portion of the upper-left
Julia, hoping that the portion in the zoom box would then be
dislayed in all four quadrants.  I told Sylvie that I thought
zooming was impossible without knowing what the pixel coordinates
of the zoom box are.  As it turns out, I was both right and
wrong.  I was right for the type of zooming I was trying to do,
but as this formula demonstrates, a certain type of zooming
is possible.

I think it's really something that Sylvie could accomplish this
by adding just 9 lines of code and changing 4 more!

To use zooming with this formula, you have to mentally expand
one of the quadrants to fill the whole screen and then zoom
into that expanded image (does this make sense?).  In other
words, you are not going to get what you see inside the zoom
box.  But try it - it's not that difficult.  The pars
4juls_z3 and 4juls_z4 were done this way.  The first two
pars are identical to those in the original formula.

Well, the inevitable happened. When I tried to create a fractal animation
using the formula parser, it didn't work. The bug was easy to fix, and the
revised version is now available on my web site. I have also put a new fractal
animation on the animation page. The animation was produced with fhe formula
parser and a variation of one of Sylvie's formulas.

Here it is.  I had the name slightly wrong.  I'd forgotten I'd written
the formula to do both Msets and Julia sets.  I've included a few of
the original pars.

When Sylvie send me her modification of the formula she mentioned this:

Paul has out done himself here, in fact he has four-up-ed himself! I am 
reminded of my eighth-grade teacher who grew up as a boy with 4 sisters 
to deal with. I asked him how that could be so bad (I have one sister). 
I reasoned the 4 sisters would keep each other busy. Well, he replied 
that they "4-up" on you. 

By the way, there is an 4 in one image upcoming in the Dr. J series 
(Fractal-art list). But it will be zoomable but a different kind of four in 
one. 

There is one more thing to note about zooming Paul's image. If you 
try to pan, the image only draws the new part. You will also need to 
do a slight zoom in or out. Here, let me try one here... boy this is 
_neato_.

Good weather hiatus.

I'm tossed between the math and the art.  Should the math and choas destine
the art or should we bend the math and apply structure to the chaos to give us
a nice image.  What are the pros of one versus the pros of the other or maybe
its just a personal preference.

Thanks for the info.  Here's another thing I've discovered: if you
use passes=g you will mess up all of the images except the one in
the upper-left quadrant.  This is because the zooming code uses
the values of the pixels (0,0), (0,1) and (1,0) to get horizontal
and vertical distances between pixels and with passes=g the pixels
at (0,1) and (1,0) are skipped on the first pass.

What's the difference? :-)

Really, the only that distinguishes mathematics from other art media is
that it requires the learning of its own language (and to some extent, that
language is an art form in its own right).

So mathematical art or artistic mathematics? I say it is a personal
preference - it's the same thing anyway, so go with what turns you on the
most!

comment {
Here is the Mset version of my Four_Julias_Z formula.  The
same limitations apply plus these images cannot be rotated
(maybe in a later version).  The par I've included is already
a fairly deep zoom, so after displaying it you can press the
"z" key, then the "F6" key, then the "F4" key, and then "Enter"
twice to get the whole Mset (which probably won't look very
good, but it will give you something to zoom into).

Subject: (fractint) Correction to Four Mandels Formula
Date: 08 Jun 1998 10:37:31 -0500 (CDT)

When I posted the Four_Mandels formula late (too late!) last
night I said that the images could not be rotated.  That is
true for the formula I posted.  However, I had made a 
couple of unnecessary changes to Sylvie's code which killed
the rotation capabilities of the formula.  To restore the
rotation capabilities, in the block of code that reads:

        IF (px == 1 && py == 0)
            delta_x = real(scrnmax) * real(pixel - z0)
        ENDIF
        IF (px == 0 && py == 1)
            delta_y = flip(imag(scrnmax) * imag(pixel - z0))
        ENDIF

change the line that reads:

            delta_x = real(scrnmax) * real(pixel - z0)
to:
            delta_x = real(scrnmax) * (pixel - z0)

and the line that reads:

            delta_y = flip(imag(scrnmax) * imag(pixel - z0))
to:
            delta_y = imag(scrnmax) * (pixel - z0)

which will change the code back to the way Sylvie originally
had it.

So, why did I make those changes?  Essentially, I did two
things I shouldn't have done: First, refusing to accept the
fact that I can't program late at night the way I could
twenty years ago, I was working on the formula way too late
at night, and second, I made a change to make the formula
work without understanding why it didn't work, breaking a
cardinal rule of computer programming (and I think formulas
of this complexity have crossed the line from formula writing
into computer programming).

I originally used my 3Way rendering for the image in the
first quadrant instead of the Astroid rendering that is in
the present formula.  And I couldn't get any of the images
to display properly.  Failing to find any error in the 3Way
rendering code, I thought, "lets see what happens if I keep
delta_x horizontal and delta_y vertical."  So I made the
changes and, lo and behold, all the images displayed properly
except for the first quadrant.  I then used the Astroid
rendering for the first quadrant and all the images displayed
properly.  Then, it being very late, I said, "good enough"
and posted the formula without checking if the changes I had
were really necessary.  It's now obvious to me that I had
made some error in the cutting and pasting of the 3Way
rendering code that affected all four images.

Anyhow, my apologies to all, especially to Sylvie - I should
have never messed with her portion of the code - she's much
better at formula writing than I am.  I should have sent the
formula to her before I posted it, seeing as how I messed
with her code - next time I will.  My only excuse is that
around midnight several brain cells were fast asleep.

Hmm... If it is again because of the pascal crt error, you may use an
executable patch available from http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/zipfiles

Paul,

  Just to be safe, could you please repost that formula in it's entirety =
as
it should be?  With all of us making various cuts and pastes, there are
bound to be errors!  Somebody has already reported getting a "null pointe=
r
aassignment" when using the formula, although I didn't when I used the
version as originally posted.

Simple.  Quantum physics only applies to things in the real world, not
to mathematical constructs.

Planck's length is not 10^-33; that's a dimensionless number.  Planck's
length is about 1.6 x 10^-33 centimeters.

You'd do well to learn enough mathematics and physics to understand the
meaninglessness of that assertion before you continue to develop your
theories.  The Feynman Lectures on Physics are pretty good, and have
the advantage of being available in most bookstores.

Briefly, dimensions don't exist independently of one another, and no
dimension is first or last.  Particular dimensions are attributes of
whatever coordinate system you impose upon space.

The ideal program for ths sort of work would be something like the GIMP
or Adobe PhotoShop.  With these programs, you can type your text, move
it around, delete pieces of it, add shadows, move it around more, and
then save it when you're done as a single image.  These programs have
these nifty things called layers that make this much easier.

Paint Shop Pro 5 adds support for layers.  Other graphics programs that
support layers, in addition to Photoshop and GIMP, are Micrografx Picture

Hi Paul,

First of all may I just say how much I really enjoy each and every one of your
wonderful formulas.
Your recent "four-in-one" series are both clever and visually compelling!

I have seen a problem, however, when rendering this one at 1600x1200:

4juls_z4           { ; Copyright (c) Paul W. Carlson, 1998

The bottom portion of the image breaks into disjointed fragments. Strangely
enough it draws OK at lower resolutions, e.g. 1024x768, or at 1600x1200 with a
viewwindow reduction factor.
Any thoughts?

Anyone else seeing this?

cheers, Les

[Kragen's reply snipped...]

I've been toying with the idea that perhaps the 'fractal formula' on which our
universe is based might someday be discovered.  This universe would be
represented, in it's entirety, by a single point in a fractal graph (i.e., 'a
pixel in a pretty picture' ;-) of possible universes.  Knowing the formula, we
could calculate the 'shape' of the graph in areas around our universe's point,
and gain insight into why our universe is the way that it is, as well as a whole
bunch of other stuff that physicists and clergypersons alike would give their
left shoe to know.

One might wonder what sort of accuracy the point on the graph of possible
universes would have to have, in order to result in our universe.  Roger Penrose
(1) uses measures of entropy and the assumption that this universe is closed
(i.e., there'll be a 'Big Crunch') to determine that the required accuracy would
be 10^(10^123), or thereabouts...

Now, there's something for the Stone Soup group to shoot for!  ;-)  And somebody
better talk to 'ol Bill and tell him we need a few 1000TeraHz chips when he's
got a sec...

My video card/monitor can't do 1600X1200 so I have no way of trying to
duplicate the problem.  I have tried it at 320x200, 640x480, 800x600
and 1024x768 with no problem.

Subject: (fractint) F'tint on a 400 MHz computer
Date: 09 Jun 1998 22:05:08 -0500

Hi Fractalizens:

Well, I've got our favorite fractal program loaded and running on my new
Compaq Presario 4880 Pentium II 400 MHz computer. WOW!

The program runs superiorly under Windows 95. It was very easy to set up
compared with the toil it took to make it work properly under Windows 95
on my 486/66 machine. There were some noticeable improvements to Windows
95 in the four years since I bought the 486/66 that must have
contributed to the ease in making a DOS-based program to run smoothly
under Windows.

I told you that I also bought a ViewSonic 17" monitor that was capable
of operating at a 1600 x 1200 resolution. Let me first say that if you
can save up to buy a 17" monitor, by all means do so. Fractint looks
absolutely stunning on a large-screen monitor. For the past couple of
years I have wanted to buy a 21" monitor, but found the cost
prohibitive. But the prices of 17" monitors are just several hundred
dollars.

I wan't able to run Fractint at the three 1600 x 1200 resolutions
available with the program. Two were created for Lee Skinner and the
third for Sylvie Gallet. My Compaq uses an ATI 3D Rage Pro (DirectX)
adapter with ATI Capture Drivers and ATI mach64 Display Driver. (Tim
Wegner: Hint. Hint. 8-) I'm on bended knees pleading for this addition.)
I was able, however, to run Fractint at the next higher resolution above
1024 x 768 without problem.

And talk about fast! Fractint is now a regular speed demon. Might even
be able to beat out the roadrunner. 8-)

And so ends my brief synopsis of Fractint running on a 400 MHz screamer.
Got to back back to my fractalart workshop.

See ya,

Bob

Thanks for the report. Sylvie gave me this configuration for my

4f02, 120, 0, 0, 28, 1600, 1200, 256

It works on my 17" Trinitron. Good luck!

I like this too.  And there's some option -- can't remember what it's
called -- that doesn't bother to fill in the boundaries/boxes, but
leaves them outlined.  I like that a lot.

I get the same problem too.  My screen gets a FUSCIA color and that's
it. 

Any suggestions?

I was wondering if there's a place in Fractint that shows a saved images file
size in kilobytes?  It's not really that necessary, but it would be nice to
know.

Thanks,

These par files run fine for me.  Look for an older version of the Oblate
formula in your formula files.  I suspect that Fractint is picking up an
older version.  The program checks your formula files before going to the
version included in the parameter file.

The fault is probably my own.  Posting several versions of the same formula
is one of my lesser vices.  I'll try to amend my wayward ways in the future.

To avoid the problem, remove the older version of the formula or change its
name.  Then put the newest version of the formula, which is the one in the
par file, into your formula file.  (Delete the frm: from the formula before
putting it into the formula file.)

If this doesn't solve the problem, let me know.  I'll see if I can work
something out.

Paul,

Very fine formula and beautiful pars! Turbine_spir and gold_green_spir
are very high on my list of favorite pcarlson pars.

I'll be away until June 23, and will not be able to do any list administration 
duties. This shouldn't affect the list significantly - mostly I help people 
subscribe and unsubscribe, and unsubscribe people whose email addresses 
don't work. Just be aware that I won't be able to help you with these things until 
I'm back.

You can all help by unsubscribing yourself before your email account comes to 
an end. You can't unsubscribe your old account from a new one, so a little 
planning helps.

I have also noticed that some mailboxes fill up and bounce mail if the mail isn't 
read after a quota is used up. APL accounts are among thos susceptible to 
this problem.  So if your provider has a mail quota and you are going on a 
vacation, you might consider unsubscribing while you are gone. You can 
always read the archive to catch up.

The pace of Fractint development has paused, so as soon as I am back we'll 
work with the team to turn the current developer's version into Fractint 20. This 
always takes a few weeks of cleaning docs etc. You can all look forward to that.

Have a good time, see you all soon.

Tim Wegner

I finally got these to work, but it is odd.  I had the new version of the
formula in the orgform _o.frm file and the old one in _o_dup.frm (I hate
to actually throw anything out).  The pars did not work.  when I removed
_o_dup.frm from the frm directory, the pars worked.  I had thought that
fractint would pick up the formulas from the _o.frm file first, but is this
so?  My experience here would seem to say no.  Do you end up taking pot
luck as to which version of a formula (or which formula when there are two
with the same name) or is there some system to it?

Subject: (fractint) Fractal movies
Date: 12 Jun 1998 00:25:34 

Hello Fractineers!

Has anyone ever made fractal movies using the Tiera-Zon fractal program by 
Stephen Ferguson? (AVI format) I have, and it kicks! The only thing it's 
missing is the ability to incorporate music to it. But music would greatly 
increase the size of each movie, which is already big. Making a movie to 
zoom from 1 to over a trillion times magnifications takes up quite a bit of 
space. If anyone has, I'd like to trade movies and see what others are 
doing. 

thanx

Hello. My name is Lee Lane. I am a newcomer in your midst. 
A musician by trade, my passions range from the violin and viola 
to mathematics and 3-D photography to ice skating and weight lifting. 
But fractals are my obsession.

I can't believe how consuming this has become. Sometimes I wish 
it would go away so I could get back to my life. I am attracted 
to the fractals for their visual delights and for their being 
the graphic realization of the beauty of math. Moreover, 
the performer in me approaches them as though they were music: 
an medium for self expession and communication. 

I was introduced to this discussion list by Sylvie Gallet, 
with whom I have had several very pleasant interchanges. 
It is exciting, if a little daunting, to see on my screen now 
the names of people whose art I have admired on the internet. 
For me, the discusion list will be a forum for learning 
and for exchanging views, mostly of a fractal nature, of course.

As an initiation, I am sending a selection of images I made 
from Gallet's formula files 1 through 6.

Hi Lee,

Welcome to the list.  Your images are beautiful!  I especially liked
Modern Boardroom and Lilac Time.  I'm looking forward to seeing
many more.

Subject: (fractint) Newbie with 2 suggestions
Date: 12 Jun 1998 01:23:41 -0600

Greetings all!

I have been lurking for a while, and since joining the group have been
catching up on the monthly collections (thanks Les - great job) since
October 97.  I'm now up to April 98.  This has been no small task for an old
486!

Two suggestions arise from this process that perhaps could be considered in
future Fractint releases:

1/ It would be nice when running the long batch files created by PARTOBAT and
   using the 'Disk Video' mode if the file SAVENAME would show on the screen so
   that you could see where you were up to without having to TAB into the next
   screen.

2/ Whilst running the long batch files described above, I would find it useful
   if a 'MaximumCalcTime' could be set from within SSTOOLS.INI.  If I were to
   set this to, say, 1 hour then Fractint would cease generating the particular
   file it was on after an hour and then move on.  Then at least I would get to
   see the start of 24 great new images per day and probably many more.  I guess
   an appropriate message would have to be output to STOPMSG.TXT, but surely
   this would not be hard to arrange.  Sorry, but basically I'm impatient and
   don't want my machine to be 'hung up' on an image that's going to take 36
   hours to complete when I could be viewing 50 or more of the other great
   images that I could have generated instead.

Any thoughts on the above?  Hopefully I have not spammed you all about a
feature that is already available.

To all of the contributors to this list, and of course the programmers that
made this program available, many thanks.  I hope to be in a position to
contribute in the near future (when I've finished generating April & May's
1000+ images!).

Regards from downunder,

Wayne

Date: 12 Jun 1998 05:11:11 -0400

Hi,
it's a great pleasure for me to tell you that some artists from the
Compuserve's Graphics  Developers Forum gave me their permission to prese=
nt
their work onto my website so that you can download these pars. The artis=
ts
are =

Robert Carr - Marie Droszdis - Karl Geigl - Lee Skinner - Brian Jones - =

Sylvie Gallet (updated with her newest work from 10. June ) - and Les
St.Clair.
Some of the artists have their own page from which you can download these=

files too. =

My intention is to make a site for the gaphics developers artists. Most o=
f
them who I have contacted haven't give me an answer, but I will try it
again.
Cheers and feed your machines with this fantastic stuff --Jo--

I had thought that fractint would pick up the formulas from the _o.frm fi=

first, but is this so?
<

No. Fractint looks through formulas in the same order as you would see
using the dir command in DOS without any ordering switch. Either _o.frm o=
r
_o_dup.frm could be looked at first at any particular time. This is one o=
f
the problems of duplicate named formulas.

Version 20 of Fractint will supply a fix of sorts. A new command line
option, which you will be able to include in sstools.ini, will provide fo=
r
the identification of a directory dedicated to orgform files. After the
usual search of the default formula directory, the program will look for =
a
formula in the orgform file directory. Only one file will be looked at,
based on the name of the formula (in your example, *only* _o.frm will be
searched for the formula), providing certaintly as to which formula will =
be
selected. The search is also much faster, since all the other orgform
files, which cannot contain the formula being sought, will be ignored.

Subject: (fractint) Another invitation
Date: 12 Jun 1998 10:54:39 -0400

You are again invited to visit my web site at
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/1450/ I announced a rearrangement of
the site about a month ago and I got some good suggestions on how it might
be improved. Since the site is a hobby and time just seems to evaporate
after work, it's taken about a month to get things close to where I want
them.

In the meantime, I've continued to post fractals by the door to my office
at work, so there were twenty more pictures to hang in the gallery. Without
all the distractions of the gallery redesign, I should be more prompt with
posting each week's door-fractals.

Anyway, the pictures should be easier to navigate (at least in the postings
section) so I invite you all back for a look.

Bill Decker

It's just a guess, as i never run fractint under win95. But orgform_o.frm is
a 9.3 filename, so maybe fractint had some problems with the
non-8.3-ishness.

Screwed that first post up :)

Greetings!
I really liked some of DMJ's formula's (ie. dmj-Mand-Cir-Ang) so I was
curious as to how that method would work with the magnet1 fractal. I
am not sure if just substitutuing the magnet1 formula in place of the
mandelbrot is the correct way to do implement it. Does anybody see any
other changes neccesary? Anyway, what ever I did, here are some cool
looking images that came out of it. Enojy!

Jon,

On my web site I explain a bit about how the formulas work, and how to
modify them:

    http://www.fractalus.com/misc/dmj-pub.htm

The changes you have made are sufficient.  BTW, the reason I use only four
letters for the fractal type--Mand and Nova instead of Mandelbrot and
NovaM--is so that I could include an inside variant (ending in -I) and
still keep the name under 18 letters.

...just looked at the pictures.  Veeerry nice.  I especially like #16.

Wayne,

>>2/ Whilst running the long batch files described above, I would find it=

useful if a 'MaximumCalcTime' could be set from within SSTOOLS.INI.  If I=

were to set this to, say, 1 hour then Fractint would cease generating the=

particular file it was on after an hour and then move on. <<

You can do this by using the command "savetime=3D-60".   The image will b=
e
saved after 60 minutes (it will be resumable) and fractint will exit.

Hi Joe,
     Yes it is runtime error 200... it appears immediately after attempting to
run.
<It is the latest version? > Hummm....Version 3.4   1997...???
Maybe thats it?   What is the newest version and where can I find it?

Cheers
Steve

The latest release is ver.3.5 and you can d/l it from my website
Download-Area.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JoWeber
Make sure that you load the version for the very fast machines, because
Michael
updated his Borland Pascal. The error must disappear.
Good luck --Jo--

Greetings

     I suspect some one on the list has done prints of fractals. I'd be very
interested to hear opinions as to the best method. Some one has suggested to
me to explore the possibility as they would like to have a few prints, and i'd
like to give them the best possible image on paper.

There are essentially two general categories of making prints of fractal
art:  ink, and photographic.  Ink includes lithographic prints, and ink-jet.
Photographic involves producing a positive or negative transparency using a
Kodak LVT or a Cymbolic Sciences LightJet 2000 and then using photographic
enlarging onto photographic print paper.

For small runs, I much highly prefer the photographic approach as that
produces a much higher resolution image and *much* broader color gamut.
Unfortunately, inks have limited color gamut, and it is difficult with inks
to accurately reproduce many of the brighter RGB colors fractal artists
often use.  In addition, if one uses Ilfochrome or Fuji reversal papers,
the archival life of photographic prints greatly exceeds that of any dye-
based inks (the jury is out on pigment-based inks).  The advantage of ink
prints, though, is greater flexibility with regards to the paper itself, as
well as greater familiarity by the public for art on paper rather than on
polyester substrate.

Once you see a properly made Cibachrome or Fuji super glossy print printed
from an 8x10" Kodak LVT transparency, you'll never want to go back to any
ink-type system -- they are spectacular.  Maybe Lee Skinner can comment
since he has first-hand knowledge of this.

For more information, refer to the Fractal-Art mailing list archives.  Damien
Jones can tell you how to access them.  (Of course, you *need* to subscribe
to the Fractal-Art mailing list).

Good luck.

I mentioned some time ago that I'd got an HPGL pen plotter and was
plotting L-Systems with it.  It's pretty neat to watch, but it's slow,
and the color quality is terrible.  Bought two plotters for $10, though.

Also, you can render a low-resolution (like 30x40) image in Fractint
with just a few colors (like 8 or 16) and use the HPGL print feature to
generate a nifty cross-stitch diagram, which you can then render onto a
pillow, towel, or just something to frame, using a needle and
embroidery floss.

You can probably print the HPGL thing on things other than a pen plotter.

Is Fractint broke or is it just my copy and setup messed up
or is it the par? 
First I start the par Jcamp09 in Fractint but before it
finishes hit "M" for menu. 
After you are into the menu just hit enter with will get you
back to the fractal. 
Fractint now comes back on my machine and says I now have 3
errors in the par. 
2 of the  "Error 4, Undifined Operator" and 1 "Error 0,
should be an argument". 
Why did it like the parameters when I started the fractal
but finds errors after fractal is started?

Does anyone else get these messages?

It appears to me that the syntax errors mentioned were not in the par
file, but in the formula. Perhaps you should discuss this with Jon Camp,
whose formula it was, and a replacement formula might be sent to you.

Hi:
I'm Art Baker. My website "Fractals from Ojai" has been on-line
since 1993 shortly after the first graphical browsers became
available. I displayed images from a library of over 500 fractals
that I created during the prior two years. I revised the website a
few times between 1993 and 1995. Until recently I left it alone 
to count visitors and accumulate comments while I pursued other 
interests.

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled onto this list and decided to
subscribe. Since that time I have become fascinated with the fantastic
work you people are doing. The quality is several orders of magnitude
greater than the work done in the early 90's. 

I was so stimulated I revised the old website, replaced the old images
with others from the original collection, download the latest Fractint
for my Windows 95 machine and purchased Fx for my Windows NT Pentium Pro.
I have see if I can compete with the incredible work you people are 
doing. If so, I will replace the 51 images on the website one at a time.
I have also streamlined my URL as a symbol of my renewed interest.
Accordingly (www.ayb.com/ffo/) has changed to (fratcal.cc).

You will probably see me on this list from time to time when I need help.

In the meantime I invite you all to visit fractal.cc.

It looks like it was just a problem with they way the email software
wrapped the message. I don't know if it happened on my end or yours.
Here it is again with a small formating change.

Hope this helps :)

  This is a bug of the "frm in par" feature that appears when a par entry=

has the same name as the formula included in the par file.  Justrename th=
e
par entry as Jcamp09_p and it will work fine.  It has been fixed in the
developers version.

Hi Jon et al,

  The problem has nothing to do with the way the email software wrapped t=
he
message.

  I am posting a message from George Martin who can't post to the list no=
w
because his email address has changed.

>>>>>>>>

The jcamp09 problem described in a message here a day or so ago is caused=

by a bug in fractint 19.6, which gets confused when an image name and a
formula name are the same, and the formula is included in the par file wi=
th
the frm: prefix. To avoid the problem, simply take the formula out of the=

=2Epar file and put it in a .frm file (with the prefix deleted, of course=
).
This problem has been fixed for the next release of fractint. =


George

Yes -- but that wasn't what I was talking about, although it might be
an answer to SKarl's question.

BTW, I don't know what I was thinking when I typed $10.  I meant $25.

Jim,

Just now I finally got around to run all your pars submitted during the past
couple of weeks or so. Very nice images, all of them. I am particularly impressed
with those using Fractint built in formulas, because they show that those formulas
are virtually inexhaustible.

Date: 17 Jun 1998 10:22:00 -0500


I've been lurking here for several months mainly just trying to keep up   
with reading the volume of mail posted here.  Now that it's slowed   
somewhat, I have a problem that hopefully someone here can help me solve.   
 I tried to run partobat 3.4 on some par files; it had no problem   
creating the batch, but when I tried to run it, I just got a string of   
"Bad command or file name" errors in my Dos window.  It strung up a list   
of as many of these errors as there were images to draw in the par file.   
 When v 3.5 came out, I downloaded it, thinking it might solve the   
problem.  It gave me the same set of errors.  (I'm running Win 95 on a   
200 Mhz Pentium Compaq.)  HELP!!!

Find out what was causing the errors by removing
    @echo off
if it exists in the batch file. This removal should cause the dos batch file
to output to the screen the commands executed. If this output is not given,
add
    @echo on
to the beginning of the batch file.

This output is needed for further help.

Christian

I've made quite a few color-laser prints and I must say that I'm very
pleased with the results, especially considering the low cost compared to
photographic reproduction.
My local photo-shop has a color-photocopying-machine that can be used as a
printer and it's resolution is 400 dpi, so the output can be rather
astonishing. Still, fractint's resolution maximum of 2048x2048 pixels not
quite enough to fill an entire A3-page (that takes some 5900x3900 pixels),
so it can be recomended either to make a routine that can calculate such a
picture or settle for 100 or 200 dpi.
Even with highly intense colors, the reproduction is fine - it's even
comparable to the colors on the monitor; one migt even say, that the bright
colorswork better than more pastel-like colors.
Normally I convert the fractint gif-file to a format that specifies size and
dpi in order to avoid surprises during printout (fx adobe, since this is the
programme my local dealer is using).

Strictly speaking, nothing. The M-set maps those points which do not
eventually escape to infinity - the key word being "eventually".

Every image produced that uses only a finite number of iterations of the
z^2+c mapping is inherently only an _approximation_ to the true M-set,
albiet one that gets better and better as the number of iterations
increases. The M-set itself _is_ what remains as the number of iterations
approaches infinity (since this is a natural number, it can never _reach_
infinity, which is not a natural number).

So if we're only looking at approximations here, how much of what we're
looking at is really there? Perhaps there is some law or relation or at
least a rule of thumb that allows one to estimate how many iterations are
necessary to reproduce an approximation that is as accurate as can be
achieved at a given resolution and magnification. I don't know, but perhaps
someone else does.

Kim...Welcome to the list and thanks for the informative response.
      
    My local print shop has Adobe Photo Shop on Mac and appearently a way to
get it to paper. [ more research]
I have PaintShopPro5 which supports Photoshop file extentions  .psd
although I'm not sure if you're saying that this is the file type that
specifies size and dpi?... as there are no ' readily visible ' options other
than ' save as ' and selecting the file type.   [ I'll call them today and see
what they recomend ]


       What fractint video mode are you using to generate the .gif that you
convert and take to print? 
        
        If I were to use a  disk / ram ' video '   mode  how would I then
convert the file? and  to what?


I'm going to think about this a bit and maybe send that last question onto the
list if I can't figure it out.

Welcome to the fractint discussion list and thank you for your valued input
... one and all.

Hello everybody,
I am a newcomer but I have used a version of Fractint for Windows for years.
I would like to get the newest version for DOS but I have great difficulties.
In Bulgaria the Internet access is VERY slow and unreliable-
I cannot download the whole 0.5 MB zip file at once.
I need someone's assistence- can any of the sites I can get Fractint from
have it split in many 20 kB (or of this size or less) zip or arj files?
I asked Noel at spnaky.triumf.ca but he has limited resuorces.
Another thing, PLEASE don't send it at this address- that is the best
way to have the e-mail service denied to me.

Your best bet is to look on the "Simtel" site which has mirrors in a
number of European cities.  I had the same problem from South Africa.
Unless it's changed recently only V19.5 is available on Simtel.  Go to
http://ftp.globalnet.co.uk/simtel.net/ and search for frain195.zip.  If
it's not fast enough that page has a list of all the mirrors - there may
be one closer to you.

V19.6 has to be got from spanky.triumf.ca.  If you need this I can only
suggest early morning when the Americans are asleep ...

There are shareware programs available that provide you the ability to
download files with the possibility of interrupting - I mean: when the
connection fails, the program continues after trying to restore the
connection. Even if the connection keeps on failing, you can pick up the
downloading even days later. And you can also interrupt the downloading
yourself, so e.g. spreading it over a couple of days.

I myself use GetRight 3.10, which installs as a windows SFX. It works with
Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0. Can be
downloaded at www.getright.com. Size: 921 kB. This probably is the only
problem. But maybe someone on this list knows a smaller program.

The links to these sites can be reached from the webpage at:

	I won't guarantee that they are all still active, but there
is a good chance that you can find a site close to home.

Fractint is not in your path or your current directory when you run the

Now, at the first line of the batch file, add the line

PATH fractdir;%path%

where <fractdir> is the full directory path of your fractint directory. This
should fix the problem.

"file" -> "preferences" -> "file format preferences". Here you will be able
to specify the dpi of saved images. Still, I could only make it work
properly with TIF-files - when converted into Adobe PhotoShop both PSD and
JPG formats failed to maintain size accurately. TIF is however widely used
in dtp, so it should offer no problem.

I've made a disk/ram-videomode with a resolution on 1460x970x256. This
corresponds to a A3 page with 2½cm margins at 100 dpi. I perfer to calculate
pictures at even multiples, i.e. 100, 200 or 400 dpi. Still, I only do 100
dpi prints with fractint; fractint cannot calculate a bitmap large enough
for a 400 dpi print.
Conversion is easy: Simply make fractint save the picture, then load your
GIF and - having set the dpi as above mentioned - save it as a TIF.

Good luck, Kim.

Kim,

 - Still, I only do 100 dpi prints with fractint; fractint cannot calculate
 - a bitmap large enough for a 400 dpi print.

Not true.  Load the image, press "b", and at the bottom of the screen are
three options for making images in pieces.  If you set these to 2 and 2,
FractInt will save four parameter sets, as well as a handy batch file for
creating each of the pieces from those parameter sets and assembling them
into a single file.  Be sure to press F1 from the "b" screen for help on
this feature.  This is the technique I used to create my own poster from a
FractInt image.

David,

 - Somewhat off topic: Is Paint Shop Pro 5 significantly better than
 - PSP 4.12?

Yes, significantly.  PSP 5 adds "layers", which is a major new feature.
Layers allow you to keep parts of an image separate, and work on them
independently, shifting them around without affecting the other parts.
Once you've used a graphics program that has layers (like Photoshop,
PhotoImpact, Picture Publisher, or Corel Photo-Paint, to name a few) you
will never want to go back.  JASC finally added this feature and it makes
Paint Shop Pro a whole new program.

Layers   ...yes... and it also supports digital camera files.
I wish there was a more flexible zoom. A change of 1:1 to 1:2   is a big
jump...
and the tool pallet in 5 is floating as opposed to { i think I remember } on
the tool bar in 4.12 and 4.4?... but not a big problem.

Greetings,

Ahhh....I had to reload PSP4.12 to find the option to specify dpi when saving
a file. Appearently PSP5 has removed this option.... or....it has been
desquised in some other menue.       I'll be e-mailing Jasc Inc. next, and
will post their response if it is of help to the inquirey about PSP5 being
better than 4.12 { or 4.14 }

The most important differences, layers, Photo CD capability, have already been
mentioned by others as improvements in PSP5. In addition, PSP5 has a neat
feature called picture tube brush, with a number of picture tubes available for
download at http://www.jasc.com/tubes/ (I have some fractal tubes available for
download on my web site too). PSP5 comes packaged with Animation Shop, which is
a better animation program by a long shot than Microsoft's Gif Animator. So all
things considered, it's a great improvement over previous versions.

To all who answered:

Thanks for info. Often enough new versions of software "x" is not
significantly enough different or improved, once in a great while even
worse in some respects, to warrant obtaining. In this case I will be
upgrading to PSP5 soon. Thanks again.

Very nice, very nice indeed! I will be making poster this way from now on!

I also use this method a lot (instructions are somewhere on page
http://spanky.triumf.ca/www/fractint/commands.html ) . There is one
disadvantage, though - it doesn't work proparly for my images that combine
boundary tracing (passes=b) and fillcolor=nnn (for instance fillcolor=255).
I have three images like these on my webgallery
(http://wwwserv.caiw.nl/~jaccobu/index.htm) . They are:
In The Dangerous Kitchen I, in Gallery 1
( http://wwwserv.caiw.nl/~jaccobu/images/jacco010.gif )
The Weaver In The Web That He Made, in Gallery 1
( http://wwwserv.caiw.nl/~jaccobu/images/jacco035.gif )
In The Dangerous Kitchen II, in Gallery 2
( http://wwwserv.caiw.nl/~jaccobu/images/jacco054.gif )

When aplying this so called "divide and conquer" method to these images I
get unwanted horizontal and vertical lines that indicate the different part
the image is made of. Another unwanted effect is that the boundery lines are
still 2 pixels wide, no matter what size the complete image is. But when I
want to enlarge an original image of 800x600 to, let's say 3200x2400 (four
times the original size) I would like to have the boundary lines to be four
times the original size as well (8 pixels in this case).

I can't think of any way to solve this problem, though I realise I ask a
lot. Maybe one the coloring-algorithm-formulae wizards that are on this list
can create a solution....?

PSP 5 uses MMX technology. It will run better on P200 class + and PII
processors.

I have always been interested in fractals
I joined the e-mail group hoping to learn more about designing fractals.
but I need help:
             1. What is a good beginning software program (Windows95) for
fractals?
             2. What is a good beginners text? 
             3. I been reading all the e-mail I get from this group.  Many of 
                them have coding which I imagine is the coordinals /color 
                to generate a fractals.  Could you please explain to me how
this? 
 Thank you

Alan,
Hello and welcome to the fractint list.
What you're seeing in the list are formulas and par files which are for
fractint for DOS.
The frm file is used to generate the fractal image and the image is often
stored as a .gif
...which you may have seen at some of the web sites that are maintained by
poeple on the list.   The par file is  also the fractal but in numeric
form....i.e. to say ...a par file 
of a specific image  will  generate that same image  on an others computer. 

   Winfract is a version of fractint that runs in Win95.    

I don't believe winfract will run most of the frms and pars you see here...
but it might be a way to get you more interested in fractals....and hopefully
to the point where you will
take the leap into dos and get version 19.6 of fractint. { Its not that
difficult of a leap...really}
Winfract for win95 and fractint for dos are both available at the following
address...for free. 

http://spanky.triumf.ca/www/fractint/fractint.html

version 19.6 fractint for dos 

and Winfract for win95

Feel free to ask questions Alan. There are many here who will gladly help you
get started.
Sincerely,
Steve

Petra, how are you trying to start fractint, and what happens when you try?
Here's a brief list of possible problems you might be encountering:

I'll assume you've booted to DOS...
1) First, make sure you are in the same directory as the fractint program you
downloaded.  You can use the DOS command 'dir' to list the contents of the
directory you're currently in, and 'cd', followed by the directory name, to
change directories.  If you need  an example, please ask.
2) Next, you should know that Fractint came to yuo as a compressed file, which
you will need to uncompress using a program called PKUNZIP.  Type 'pkunzip' at
the DOS prompt.  If you see a screen full of instruction on how to use PKUNZIP,
then press any key to get out of the instructions, and type 'pkunzip -d
fra*.zip'.  This will uncompress Fractint.  If you don't see the screen of
instructins when you type 'pkunzip', then you will need to download this very
commonly-used program from the web.  You can find PKUNZIP for both DOS and Win95
, along with instructions for their installation, at:

http://www.pkware.net

3.  Once you have Fractint unzipped, then type 'fractint' at the DOS prompt.
Fractint should start up, and present you with the opening screen which shows a
scrolling list of authors and contributors to Fractint.  To see a fractal (one
known as the Mandelbrot set), just press [Enter] a few times to accept the
default settings, and after three or four presses, the fractal should draw on
your screen.  Press F1 once for some help, or twice for the main help menu.
[Esc] will get you back to the main menu and if pressed again will let you exit
Fractint.

If you have trouble with step 3, let this list know, and help should be quickly
provided!

Jason, I'm not familiar with the zip version of Fractint.

My DOS version of Fractint came in a file called fraint.exe.  Double
clicking on the file expanded it, and then double clicking on fractint.exe
runs the program.  Is the Windows version a zipped file?

Does anyone know if work is being done on updating FractInt to work with

C'T magazine where they had modified their own fractal generator to use
those instructions and got a five-fold increase in speed.

Have you tried Stephen C. Ferguson's InkBlot Kaos as a starter's fractal 
generator? It's quite easy to use, and gives excellent results. Fractint is 
excellent, but if you're not used to DOS, it's sort of mind-boggling for a beginner.

You can get this program from Stephen's page at 
http://home.hiwaay.net/~stephenf/

When you use Fractint to generate a fractal, you can save the
parameters you used to generate it in a text file, called a "par file",
for "parameter file".  You, or some other fractint user, can then use
the settings saved in that file to generate the same fractal -- and
zoom around in it, or change parameters, or whatever.


The other thing that often gets posted here is formulas.  You can
write your own formulas for fractals, which takes a certain amount of
mathematical ability, and there's quite a bit of art to it as well.

Geez... a five-fold increase... I don't want to sound too condescending, but
this is rather ridiculous.

A five-fold increase compared to WHAT?
And maybe the new instruction (or two or a few more) are faster, but i
really doubt the complete routine is much faster.

3DNow!? Isn't that AMD's? I don't know any details, but to me it seems
they'd better work on the fpu...

I don't know of any 3DNow! optima(liza)tion. It's too new to expect
anything.
I do know that (at least) Damien Jones is on a hunt for nanoseconds with P5
optimation.

Well, I guess there are two ways, which I call the dynamical and statical
ways.

Dynamical meaning changing the view window and position, colors by color
cycling, and options from <x>,<y> and <z> screens.

Statical meaning manual, by editing saved par files in a text editor.

Ok, the par's are parameter files, and we can save them and launch them
as is. But a lot of par's I see invoke formulas that aren't in any of
the .frm files that came with Fractint (at least what I got). So I'm
assuming that there are homebrew .frm files out there, or at least
listings of formulas. Maybe people even swap them, like cookie recipes.
Are there? Are they archived somewhere? Any lists of pages or FTP sites
with .frm files? Somebody? Anybody? Hello? Is this thing on? :-)

Yes, this thing is on! There are a large number of formula files available

The largest collection of formulas, containing over 8500, is known as
Orgform, which also includes a program to organize formulas. Look for
Orgfrm.zip at the above site.
Les StClair maintains a compilation of formulas and parameters posted to

Here is the corresponding web page:

21 new instructions, all designed to operate on 4 floating point numbers in
a single clock cycle.

It's AMD's design but they have licensed it to NSC(Cyrix) and IDT.  IDT
will have a chip out in july with the instructions included.

There are several sets of parameters.  Some of them can be got to by
typing x, y, or z when you're looking at the fractal.

Presumably a fivefold increase compared to the speed of the fractal
generator when it was using the standard instruction set to do the same
thing.

Why?  It seems quite sensible to me that vector instructions, quick
matrix multiplies, etc., could increase the speed of appropriate code
by a factor of five or ten.  It looks like the 3DNow! stuff increases
the speed of certain things by a factor of nine or so.

Not to be a jerk, but maybe you should go read some articles about the
K6 and 3DNow! before you make remarks like this.

Good! Appreciate the response. I like to play around a lot with the

I asked nearly the same question last weekend.  I wanted to know why the
pars and formulas are sent
by text instead of being attached as a par file or frm file.
I use to get them off the net that way.  Not one person gave me an answer.
I got many personal replies from people agreeing with me - but I was left
feeling that I had asked such a stupid question that no one wanted to answer
me.
I don't have DOS on my computer.  I have DOS on a floppy that runs fractint
for me.  So taking the formulas
to fractint from Windows is not easy.  That is why I
asked the question.  Is any one out there?  Somebody?
Anyone?  Hello!

It is the policy of this list not to send attachments. The pars and formulas
which appear as text here are easily converted into par and frm files
respectively by copying and pasting them into Notepad or another text editor and
saving them with the proper extension. That is what all of us are doing.

I have no idea how you do that, but I wonder: how can you have Windows without
having DOS? Fractint can also be run from Windows in a DOS box.--

======================
Greetings,
     I believe the real reason that text is the required and prefered form of
communication is that there are so many different types of e-mail involved
here that the one most basic commonality we all share is text. Also some pay
by the hour for connection and to collect the mail is enough of a task.
Downloading attachments would take more time and effort.
======================
   Gedeon says fractint will run in a dos box ...meaning use the MS-Dos
prompt,
I'm sure it does for some but it won't on my machine....it always hangs
up...no matter.
I restart my machine in ms-dos mode.
Choose to change directories [ cd ] to your specific fractint directory
and type fractint.exe. { sometimes you can leave off the .exe }
cd \    means change to the highest directory ...namely the top of the C
drive... because... when you 
restart in MS-DOS mode you are beginning in the windows directory which is
within the C drive.
This is why you see     WINDOWS>

     If this makes no sense let me know and I'll re - state the process in a
different way...
==========================================
i.e.at:WINDOWS>cd \                                  hit enter
at::::::C>cd frain196                                     hit enter
{ or what ever your fracint directory is called }
at::::::FRAIN196>fractint.exe                        hit enter
==========================================
     
well....there i did it anyways.   :-)
 
Out of the e-mail     highlight...   with  your cursor...
the part that is the frm and the par. 
select copy.
Open note pad.
select paste...and paste the text to mote pad.
Now name the file    "list1.par"     or    "temp.par"
and save it in the fractint directory.  "   "    insures that the file doesn't
get named    temp.par.txt as note pad automatically adds a .txt extention if
you don't use "  "   .

Download a coupple of   copies of    fractint-digest and get familiar with the
way the frms and pars look.
     The architecture of the text is sometimes critical as to whether the par
or frm will be recognized by fractint as a valid file. 
Also open a blank note pad { by now if you don't have one lying on your desk
top { short cut } you might want to 
do that to save the time....     open a blank one and then select file \ open
and browse your way to the fractint  
directory and look for a file that has the .par or .frm extention on it and
open one of the ones that function propperly.
Observe that there are no spaces in the text of the par or frm.  
Observe the fact that there is no 3 dimentional looking wackiness...meaning
the left margin is straight.   
Observe that at the end of all the lines in a par that denote color there is a
\ . 
      Sometimes the text gets a little disrupted  as it was written in one e-
mail software and is opened by an other.   You'll get used to it.   Its good
therapy.    And you may learn things about computeres you never knew.
Hope this makes sense to you.
Sincerely,
Steve

Ah, it sounds like the Stone Soup group (or *someone*) has made the downloadable
file into a self-extracting file... wonderful!  I would guess that both the DOS
and Windows versions of Fractint are both self-extracting at this point, but I'm
not sure... if you download a .exe file, it is, and if it's a .zip file, then
you'll need PKUNZIP.

Thanks for the pointer, Marie!  Jason Hine

David Ellis,

 - 21 new instructions, all designed to operate on 4 floating point numbers
 - in a single clock cycle.

Small correction: two floating point numbers, not four.  (According to
AMD's "AMD-3D Technology Manual" PDF file, anyway.)

Christian,

Actually, AMD *has* increased the speed of their FPU; they needed to do
that before 3DNow! would be worth anything.

3DNow! is more than just a few instructions.  The idea behind MMX is to use
a single instruction to process multiple sets of data in parallel (i.e.
four parallel multiplies).  The idea behind 3DNow! is the same: use a
single instruction to do two parallel floating-point operations.

The floating-point used in 3DNow! is single-precision, so it is of limited
use to fractals.  (Only low zooms would benefit.)  But 3DNow! also
accelerates several operations which are normally very slow: dividing and
finding square roots.  These can be done much faster with 3DNow! than with
ordinary floating-point operations, at the cost of lower precision.

Because of the low precision, I don't think 3DNow! will really offer that
much to fractal generating, much as MMX doesn't really offer much.  But in
the process of adding 3DNow!, AMD finally got around to taking care of the
general floating-point performance in the AMD K6, and now it uses a
pipelined, high-throughput FPU similar in speed to Intel's processors.

Greetings,
An other option is:::
Any zip of a DOS program or Win95 program can be un zipped while in Win95
using WinZip or WinPack or any unzipping utility.
All you need to do is provide a directory to put it in.
Then acces the program from dos... or in Win95....   whatever it expects.

You're running Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 under win9x? Then you should have
dos 7.x, not? I guess you can choose dos by (1) pressing F8 at boot-up and
then choose the Command Line option; (2) Start | Shutdown in MS-DOS mode;
(3) run a dos box within windows.

Geez... Quite a list - do you work at AMD's?  :)

But okay, i may well have been a bit prejudiced. Sorry for that. And I
*will* take a look at these pages (that is, when my isp has finally finished
the migration actions).

For windows WinZIP can be used instead of PKUNZIP. With winzip, even non-sfx
archives are easy to extract (and create).
This works for all zip files.

Is there any specific reason (besides tradition) why .PAR files is pasted

This comes up frequently.

I prefer them inlined in the text because it's more convenient for *me*.

What mailer are you using?  What steps do you have to take to save and
run a par file from cutand paste?  What steps do you have to take to
save and run a par file from an attachment?

e.g.
1. Double-click on "Shortcut to mailing-list.par" icon.
2. Highlight par text in email.
3. HIt Control-C.
4. Click on mailing-list.par window.
5. Hit Control-V.
6. Alt-Tab to Fractint.
7. Hit @, etc.

Besides tradition .. ;)

In this list you are not allowed to include files as attachements. So we
just copy them into the body.

When did this policy go into effect?  It would be sort of nice (it
would stop people from posting those darn multipart/alternative
text/html text/plain messages) but I haven't heard of it before.

Huh? Okay, atts aren't favored. We've had that disc. But "are not allowed" -
i never heard of such a rule. Or it should be said on the list before April
15 this year - the day i joined this list. But i guess not, for discussion
of the atts issue took (amongst other times?) place after this date.

(snipped)

I am very puzzled by the above statement. I suspect what is intended is
that you have Fractint 19.x (DOS version) as opposed to Winfract, and you
have that copy of the program on a floppy - is that correct?

  Compared to the same processor (whatever the speed) running the
unenhanced code, obviously.  A K6-2 running at 50 Mhz will execute the
3DNow! enhanced mandelbrot code 5 times faster than the same processor
running the original, non-enhanced mandelbrot code.


  Couple of other notes - someone mentioned that the K6-2 has an improved
FPU with pipelining.  This is false.  See AMD's web site for details on
exactly what they improved and added (
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/k63d.html ) . They'd be the first to holler
if they had made such improvements as adding pipelining to the K6-2.  FWIW,
I ran my original K6-300 thru Winbench and the FPU Winmark was 973.  I then
popped the K6 out and replaced it with the K6-2 and got a 974.  No
discernable difference.

  As for the applicability of the new 3DNow! instructions to FractInt, I
see no reason why they can't be used as a superior substitute for 32-bit
integer work, regular FPU zooms, and deep-zooming.  Obviously, if a
programmer can code deep zoom utilizing 64-bit double precision FPU
registers, they can do the same using 32-bit single precision FPU
registers.  Since fractal coding usually involves a lot of square root work
and since the 3DNow! instruction set includes the ability to do square
roots over 10 times faster than the regular FPU, it can be expected that
you can get from here to there faster using the 3DNow! instruction than
with the regular FPU unit, its' 64-bit register size notwithstanding.

David Ellis,

 -  Couple of other notes - someone mentioned that the K6-2 has an improved
 - FPU with pipelining.

That was me.

 - This is false.  See AMD's web site for details on exactly what they
 - improved and added

Thanks for the correction and the reference.  The information I had read
regarding that was published in a trade magazine (I forget which one)
rather than taken directly from AMD's site.

 - FWIW, I ran my original K6-300 thru Winbench and the FPU Winmark was 973.
 - I then popped the K6 out and replaced it with the K6-2 and got a 974.

Hmmm, yeah, that seems to indicate it's the same old FPU!

 -  As for the applicability of the new 3DNow! instructions to FractInt, I
 - see no reason why they can't be used as a superior substitute for 32-bit
 - integer work, regular FPU zooms, and deep-zooming.

Because single-precision floating-point numbers have only 24 bits of
precision, not 32 bits.  They don't get you as far.  And they're not going
to get you any substantial improvement in deepzooming, which is based on
using fixed-point integers of arbitrary size.  MMX doesn't offer much for
deepzooming, either.

 - Obviously, if a programmer can code deep zoom utilizing 64-bit double
 - precision FPU registers,

They don't, the deepzoom is based on integer code.

 - Since fractal coding usually involves a lot of square root work

Some fractals do, many don't.  The Mandelbrot set calculation involves only
addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

 - and since the 3DNow! instruction set includes the ability to do square
 - roots over 10 times faster than the regular FPU, it can be expected that
 - you can get from here to there faster using the 3DNow! instruction than
 - with the regular FPU unit, its' 64-bit register size notwithstanding.

You don't have to zoom very far to get beyond 24-bit precision.  A few
zooms will do it.

David Ellis,

 - Small correction: two floating point numbers, not four.  (According to
 - AMD's "AMD-3D Technology Manual" PDF file, anyway.)

Seems I must apologize for this one too: it's two numbers per instruction,
but up to two instructions per cycle, thus your number of four is correct
as per AMD's web page.

Perhaps if someone on this list who speaks German could go poke around C'T
Magazine's web site and locate their mandelbrot program (and source,
perhaps).  The English section is very limited and I can't find the program
they are talkingabout anywhere.  Especially if we can obtain the source
code that utilizes the 3DNow! code, then we will now how they manage to
generate mandelbrots with it.

The following message was posted by Karlton on 6/22/98 to the
fracprogrammers-list.  I am re-posting it here because I thought some of the
folks on this list might have some ideas for him.  I don't think he is a member
of this list, and because most of us are not members of the
fracprogramming-list, I am including his email addr+ACo-ss, +AF8-without+AF8- Karlton's

To try and avoid possible spamming techniques, each piece of his addr+ACo-ss is on a
separate line, followed by a space and a random character.  Comments on my
audacity and technique are welcome.  And now, without further Ado...

It would be worthwhile to enhance fractint to support MPI or PVM,
methinks.

Well, he could be running OS/2, which can be installed 
without DOS support, or Windows NT. Neither are DOS! <G>

That's of course enough for 3D applications and games -- but
for fractals it's still unusable. No one ever seems to care
about fractals :(

But now we have the answer: DOS indeed on  a floppy :). Just, for some

Might as well work from the nice, clean XWindows source for this- I don't 
think anyone will want the DOS features on a massively-parallel box! I 
imagine that our original messager has considerable experience doing 
ports to his box; given the source code, he might want to undertake the 
project...

As far as I can see, what you're saying is that you can't run Fractint
in Win95 OSR2's DOS prompt -- whether you're in a DOS window or just
"booted in DOS mode" -- right?  What happens when you try it?

Praise the Lord and pass the compilers!

It'd be nice to be able to use a DOS box to watch the fractals being
generated, change parameters, etc., given that the DOS UI is still a
lot nicer than the XFractint UI.  Also, it might be worthwhile to set
up a huge MP machine that can be used to render fractals for Sylvie
Gallet, Wizzle, Gumbycat, et al., while they sit at home running
Fractint on their little DOS boxes.

Agreed.

I find this quite confusing.  I do have OSR2 running, and I tried out a ver
at the command prompt.  It does say Windows 95, not dos.  Neat.

Only weird thing is, Fractint runs fine for me.  Is this just a partitioning
thing then?  I'm on a 5.2 gig HD...

'BootMulti=1' and 'BootMenu=1'. Delete the dos dir and copy the contents of
the saved dos back to the original dos dir renaming 5 files that end in .exe
to .old and that is it. Two fully independent os's working on the same
machine. The reason why OSR2 won't work with this setup is that it has a
certain capabilities that the Windows 95 or DOS os's don't have. DOS has a 2
Gb partition limitation. Windows 95 was released with DOS 7.5. Windows 95
sat atop of this DOS 7.5 so it too had this 2 GB limitation. OSR2 is it's
own os. NO DOS. This os allows one drive to be partitioned at nearly any
size. For instance, my drive C is 8 Gb. When you goto fdisk (set up
partitions) with OSR2 it asks if you want to enable large disk support. This
8 Gb partition (drive c) is not recognized by any version of DOS or previous
versions of Windows 95. If I boot to a floppy,  drive c does not even show
up!! When I drop to a command prompt (it says ms-dos prompt because it
emulates a dos prompt) it is just that, a command prompt, not MS-Dos. If you
type ver at this command prompt you will see it still is Windows 95 .
Fractint and some other programs require MS-DOS version 5.0, 6.0 ,6.1 ,6.2,
or 6.22 to run properly. The first version of Windows 95 placed atop of
MS-DOS 7.5 also does not work with some programs. The only way to run
fractint is to boot to a DOS 6.22 formatted floppy. That is what I have to
do.

After you shut down your computer, when it says "it is now safe to turn
off your computer", what happens if you type "mode co80" and hit
return?

Faye,

 - My thanks to you Christian for your attempt to help me find an MS-DOS
 - solution but an MS-DOS window using F8 then 6 or shutdown and restart
 - in MS-DOS mode only gets you to a command prompt.

Congratulations, you just found DOS.  Microsoft just hid it a little.  It
may be "Windows 95 DOS", rather than MS-DOS in a more basic form, but it is
DOS and it will run DOS programs just fine.

You can also run DOS FractInt from inside Windows itself.  You do not need
to restart in DOS mode.  In your Start/Programs menu you should have a "DOS
Prompt" option; that starts what is commonly dubbed a "DOS box" and will
also run DOS programs, albeit with a few more limitations.  FractInt runs
fine in such a "DOS box"; I do it all the time on my own OSR2 system.

The reason you can't dual-boot on OSR2 is because MS flubbed something in
their boot code to make it not work.  There are some non-MS patches to make
it work again, but nothing official from MS; as far as they are concerned,
it's not an issue, because OSR2 was never sold to end users, and thus was
only ever installed on new systems (which didn't have a previous OS to
boot).  The procedure you describe for setting up dual-boot on original
Windows 95 is certainly correct; I've done it many times before.

DOS has a 2G partition limit, true.  OSR2 simply adds a new type of
partition, that can be any size (practically).  Most programs simply don't
care, because they're not dealing with hard drives at this level.  You can
still run a lot of DOS apps without worrying about it.  Only programs which
work on the file system on the hard drive (like ScanDisk, Defrag, etc.) are
a problem.

OSR2 does still sit on top of a DOS.  It's its own DOS, but it's still DOS.
 If you've got a bit partition, you need to make an OSR2 boot disk; if you
boot that, you will be able to see your C: drive just fine.  Just think of
OSR2's DOS as a newer version of DOS with a new format for your hard drives.

 - Fractint and some other programs require MS-DOS version 5.0, 6.0, 6.1,
 - 6.2, or 6.22 to run properly.

Small note: not only does FractInt run fine from the OSR2 command prompt
(which is Windows 95 DOS, as the "ver" command showed you) but it also runs
fine from PC-DOS and, I suspect, from DR-DOS or most other DOS variants as
well.  It doesn't require *Microsoft* DOS; it simply requires something
that is substantially compatible with it.  It's not that picky!

It is the policy of this list not to send attachments. The pars and formulas
which appear as text here are easily converted into par and frm files
respectively by copying and pasting them into Notepad or another text editor and

saving them with the proper extension. That is what all of us are doing.

....

Hmmm
I've never tried to send an attachement to this list. But this mail shows me
that it is impossible to send attachements here. This would not be something
new.
I just think that's a good idea to prevent people from sending attachements (to
spam others).

If here is an attachement (a small picture), the listserver allows attachements
:

You once posted you were able to cat the atts. I understood you are kind of
a keyboard freak - :) - just like me although i also use winNT. So the
simple cat command wouldn't be so hard, would it? Don't know about Elm.

But i wonder really, - how do you 'cut and paste' from Linux/Solaris (Pine)?

Yah, to read an attachment, I type v<downarrow>|cat<cr>.  Then I type
eei to get back to the list of messages, or een to get to the next
message.  It's a lot more pain than just reading a message -- to read a
message,  I look at the screen (maybe hit space to page down), and then
hit i or n to move to another message.  I use Pine.

Well, I'm typing this on winnt anyway :)

Well, if I were running winfract on my NT machine, I'd highlight the
text in my telnet window, hit return, open notepad, and hit Ctrl-V.  If
I were running Xfractint on my Linux machine, I'd highlight the text in
my mailer with the left button, open an editor, and hit the middle
button.

While I firmly believe that we ought to support the disabled, I fail to
see the connection between multiple sclerosis and email attachments.
Could you explain it in more detail, please?  :)

Markus. I think your attachment did not have to be sent. There are others on
the list who send atts (like mctupper).

No offense.

As long as you're using fat16, most bootmanagers allow you to use multiple
oses. I myself have msdos6.00, msdos7.00 and msdos7.10 on one drive, from
which i also boot nt and linux. Works perfectI find dos 7.5 a strange name,
for win98 comes with 7.1... [note: i have msdos7.10 from win98, but i
haven't installed the win98 gui].

This is with fat16, not? I don't know for sure, but i believe the 2GB limit
is only set to 2TB if you use fat32. This of course conflicts with older dos
versions.

So fat32. I think the problem isn't so much osr2-related, more
fat32-related. If you'd use fat16 instead, everything would work the normal
way. By the way, don't you think 8 GB is a bit *too* much for one partition?

This is normal. The ver command isn't really useful. Command.com replies
this 'Windows 95'. You *are* in command.com though, which should do for
fractint (i hope :) ).

Really tried this? For fractint, i mean? As far as i know conflicts can only
arise if apps write directly (via the bios, i mean, instead of via dos) to
the harddisk.

In all, i have a rather contradicting view. But i could as well be wrong. I
only once tried fat32, but not long enough to know.

Christian,

 - By the way, don't you think 8 GB is a bit *too* much for one partition?

The problem with making big partitions prior to FAT32 was that as you
increased the size of the partition, you increased the size of the
allocation unit--with a 2G partition, space was always allocated to files
in 32K chunks.  That means if your file is only 1K, it still uses 32K, and
if it grows th 33K, it takes up 64K of disk space.

With FAT32, the entire situation changes, because FAT32 allows small
allocation units again.  For an 8G partition, I think it's 4K or 8K
(although I would have to check to make sure).  That makes it completely
reasonable to have a single partition that size, and not have to worry
about partitioning at all.

Subject: (fractint) Introductory Fractals Book
Date: 23 Jun 1998 21:26:41 +0200

Hi there,

In several letters in the FractInt list questions were asked about
introductory books on fractals.

In the answers, but also in the Fractint documentation I missed a very good
book (although I may be biased because the author is a Dutchman as I am!)
which gives a general introduction into fractals, with an appendix on
complex numbers and also one with a number of (very) simple BASIC programs
for fractal calculations of a large number of different types.

The book I mean is by Hans Lauwerier, "Fractals : Endlessly repeated
geometrical figures" published in the Princeton Science Library, Princeton
University Press, ASIN: 0691024456 (Amazon.com price $ 13.56).


Here you see the description of this book by Amazon:
Book Description
Fractals are shapes in which an identical motif repeats itself on an
ever diminishing scale. A coastline, for instance, is a fractal, with
each bay or headland having its own smaller bays and headlands--as is a
tree with a trunk that separates into two smaller side branches, which
in their turn separate into side branches that are smaller still. No
longer mathematical curiosities, fractals are now a vital subject of
mathematical study, practical application, and popular interest. For
readers interested in graphic design, computers, and science and
mathematics in general, Hans Lauwerier provides an accessible
introduction to fractals that makes only modest use of mathematical
techniques. Lauwerier calls this volume a "book to work with." Readers
with access to microcomputers can design new figures, as well as
re-create famous examples. They can start with the final chapter, try
out one of the programs described there (preferably in a compiled
version such as TURBO BASIC), and consult the earlier chapters for
whatever is needed to understand the fractals produced in this way. The
first chapter, which builds on the relationship of binary number systems
to the "tree fractal" described above, is the best place to start if one
has no computer. There will be much to enjoy on the way, including the
beautiful color illustrations.

And this descriptions does not say too much!

I hope some of you will like this book as much as I do.

Kindest regards,

Paul J. Gellings

There are other problems with having huge partitions (scandisk time,
SPOFs, etc.) but they're off-topic for this list.

I've been told that Juno deep-sixes any message that has an attachment.
Not only does the attachment vanish, but the message also.

(Of course, I don't use Juno, so I can't verify this.)

Hi,

This sounds like rubbish to me (no offence meant) - because I use MS-DOS
all the time,
through the MS-DOS prompt, restart in mode *and* by using F8,6 on
startup.  I am using
OSR2 with a 3.2G drive formatted FAT32.  I have not yet found a single
DOS app that
doesn't like FAT32 or anything else Windowsish about my DOS box/mode. 
The only thing
that doesn't work with FAT32 is Drivespace 3 - but that's just
Microsoft's wonderful
software development teams.

Sorry that this is a little off topic...

Michael.

Date: 24 Jun 1998 07:51:52 +1000

What software can be used for printing large fractals.
I have been using Epson printers since the first week the Stylus series were
released, and can thoroughly recommend them. I use 2560 * 1920 resolution for A4
printing, (which presumes a dithering matrix of 6*6  @ 1440 dpi).
I have recently bought a 1520, which can print up to A2 and banner rolls of A2
width up to 15 meters long, although I thing I would need to refill the ink
cartridges several times to do that.
Now that I want to print on A2 (or larger), the program I have been using
(Halo's Desktop Imager) gives up the ghost (it seems to be limited to 4000*4000
pixel bitmaps. - though it is a rather old version).

So - what software does anyone use to print larger images.
And - does anyone know if 2650 * 1920 is the optimal resolution for A4 on a 1440
dpi printer. (I know epson doesn't really use a dithering matrix, but I have to
start somewhere)

regards David

For the listmembers from the Netherlands, Belgium and maybe even from South
Africa: off course this book is also available in Dutch. It is called
"Fractals - meetkundige figuren in eindeloze herhaling" , published by
Aramith Uitgevers Amsterdam, ISBN 90 6834 031 x. I don't know the original
price, I bought it at De Slegte (a very big second hand bookshop in The
Netherlands) for only 15 guilders (about 275 BEF).

Anyway, I can confirm it is a very good book. The math never exceeds high
school level (although I can only tell about Dutch high school level). It
even has suggestions about what parts to skip if you are not very much
interested in theory. It also has some real life examples of fractals,
including the artwork of M.C. Escher (a Dutchman as well, by the way). It
even tells how you can make fractals out of paper!
