Thank you Paul and Kathy!!!! I got a chance to explore your formulas just a bit today and it's been great. I certainly had a wonderful time chatting on irc today and learned a bit more about taming the windows95 beast............learned how to chat and fractal at the same time so I was able to see earl's fantastic par "live and in person." Is that a stunner or what?? Help in real time is the best, IMHO......you know....go here....do this....etc. I got an idea for a new posting too.....and would like some feedback. I've done "sets" of colormaps which are useful for adding some variety when you are exploring a particular image. I plan to post one set based on a map Linda developed and another set tailored for Paul's formulas. Does the group prefer to have a set of zipped .map files or should I bundle the maps into a par? I have Tim's new goodies so the pars will have excellent compression color-wise. And here is a par from one of Paul's formulas......so you can get a preview of the map idea.....as ever...I prefer just a bit of black to bring out a spiral. wiz_cream { ; 5/3/98 wizzle from a P.

What do I do with the FRM part of the posts? Can I leave them in the PAR when I clip and save it, and will they be found there? < This is a matter of general interest. Formulas may be included in .par files if they are preceded with the identifier prefix "frm:". The formula will be found *only* in connection with drawing an image in the .par file. It will not appear on any menu screen and will not be found when other .par files are run. It is better to copy the formula to a .frm file. The prefix frm:, if present, must be removed. The naming of the .frm file is not particularly important; fractint is very good at searching for and finding formulas, so long as the .frm files are together in the same directory.

I was refering to your "3D_Cascade" .. In some sort of self-defense over my error, I have to point out that your announcement message listed the Pars in the order: 1, 2, 6, 4, 7, 9, 13, 11, 3, 12, 5, 8, 10 and 14. However, your par *data* was ordered; 8, 9, 7, 1, 3, 12, 6, 2, 10, 13, 5, 15, 4 and 14. Of course, I numbered my stored GIF's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 Now try getting the correct *names* associated with the GIF's.

Quite a few people preferred the higher limit, and while at least one person thought the lower limit was good, no one wrote me that receiving a 40K file inconvenienced them. I do suggest using good judgement in uploading larger files. Damien Jones has offerred his FTP site at ftp.fractalus.com as a location to upload larger PAR and FRM files. Damien, could you let us know upload instructions? The idea is instead of uploading a large file to the list, upload it instead to Damien's site. Les St. Clair is maintaining a collection of PAR files uploaded here at his Web site, http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Les_StClair/ Les, let us know whether or not you would accept email submission s for your site. The idea is to lower list traffic by uploading files to one of those sites, and then referring to them here rather than uploading them. However, I don't object to PAR and FRM files being uploaded to the fractint list within the 40000 byte limit if folks prefer that.

Also, URLs were swapped, web pages viewed and advice given on improving web pages. Modifications to pages were made and the results viewed and commented on while we were chatting. Great fun!

Specific discussion related to the freeware MS-DOS program Fractint and it's ports to other platforms is welcome, but discussion need not be Fractint related. Technical discussion is welcome, but so are beginner's questions, so don't be shy. This is a good place to share Fractint tips, tricks, and techniques, or to wax poetic about other fractal software.

For years the hub of Fractint's development has been CompuServe (currently GO FRACTAL). While that is likely to remain so for the future, this list should enable developers not on CompuServe to participate more easily.

You could use the "savename=" command in the par to specify an 8.3 format name, whilst retaining the original name in the title. IMO this is such a useful feature that it should be included as an option at the screen (Tim?) Then all we would need is for Michael Peters to update partobat to look for a savename before making up one of it's own! Here's an example... Run the par then hit ave.

Tickle-T-K is one of the two main libraries for programming in X; you might think of it as the equivalent of the Microsoft foundation classes, that kind of thing. Functions for creating windows, buttons, playing with pointers, lots lots more, just spares you the gruntwork of doing all that. Also contains quite a lot of other common programming functions, to the extent that programming with Tcl/Tk is close to being a language of its own... the main competition, in terms of XWindows, is Motif... O'Reilly, of course, has the definitive book on the subject. - -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@lists.xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@lists.xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------ End of fractint-digest V1 #189 ******************************
