As far as I know, you don't even need to buy it, although it's always advisable. (BTW, I'll recomend my boss to buy it for the company). I don't know what your real problem might be, but at least I can say that it's not registration. Have you tried to unzip with the "wizard" mode?

The program still survives at Spanky and at my site.... http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/3825/Software.htm There are deep zooms for which this method is the only way to see what is going on. And there are not so deep zooms but points close the MSet components which also need this method. I had a special version which showed the light source coming from all angles around the compass as you color cycle. A real WOW. I have tried to reproduce the method in Fractint but have never been happy with the results. Thanks for the formulas. For those who are new to fractals, a little history. Deepzoom came to life overnight almost 5 years ago (10-19-93) after there was complaining on sci.fractals and the FRACL email list that we had no extended precision fractal programs to play with. Someone wrote they had seen on for sail for $90 and someone else bragged they made one in BASIC, zooming to 40 digit depths. But a gloom was setting in over the list. What to do when the digits run out... I had coded the embossing method in Turbo Pascal a few years earlier, along with a wide range of coordinate transformations, and was learning C++. Now in C++, the complex arithmetic class allows you to write formulas just like you do for ordinary math. You don't have to separate out real and imaginary parts. So the MSet formula is just z = z*z+c; with the variables z and c defined as complex. I had just discovered a complex class and was having great fun with it studying Feigenbaum points. It was written by two students in Europe (Kaufmann Friedrich & Mueller Walter) which provided 72 digit math in the free shareware version and many hundreds of digits in the registered version. So, in about two hours I had a 72 digit version up and going. The next morning with great flare I posted its availability (and it was FREE) to the lists. More than 200 asked for a copy. It was the real kick Fractint needed to get extended precision going. You can see the Fractint equivalent of one of my early Deepzooms here... http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/params/JHILL.PAR Of course, it looks much different in Deepzoom, because it was 'embossed' in that program. The filaments show up much better. Funny story, the registration was $20, so I sent a check off to the authors. I got an email in a few weeks thanking me as the first to register from the USA! (And that 70% of the $20 went to the banks for depositing, exchange and other fees!!!! So I sent them another $20 in cash (yes, a green back)! We still chat by email once in a while.) You can see this old program in action yourself, just download it from ... http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/3825/Depzm13.zip Now its graphics are about 3 or 4 hardware versions out of date and will run better on an old 386 than a modern video card. I think the 640x480x16 and 320x200x256 modes still work. You will find several versions of the program, each with different sets of exact tests for points in low period (1-4) components. This greatly speeds up plotting the MSet when these components are in the image. I notice Kerry's formula has periodicity checking disabled. That is often the case with these special effects in Fractint. :-( That is one reason why I have posted my exact tests in the Dr. J series. It seems they are often useful. Thanks again for the formulas.

I must always question my objectivity. I always question my own objectivity too. Fortunately that is not what I intend to use to judge. I intend to use my subjectivity. I intend to be totally egotistical and judge solely on what I think of an image without any concern for any 'objective' measure of worth. I think that it comes down to one's concept of art. Mine centres around the idea that art reaches directly into the person and resonates with some element of their personality. For this, subjectivity is what the viewer brings to the table. In fact, the only thing each of us can uniquely contribute is our own subjectivity. By definition, objectivity is not connected with any particular person and anyone can supply that. This is one reason I think that the comments on images would be of more value than raw votes, though having one of Sharon's very cool Frackies (singular: Fracky - is there an official name for them?) to display will be very nice for the winners. It is like having a fruit salad. The total number of pieces of fruit is much less interesting than the variety of tastes of the fruits included in the salad. - -- Mike Traynor People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.

I was fascinated by the stats as they developed. Now I'm enjoying all the hard work that went into the site per se. I'm also part of the "guess who submitted what" crowd. Question.....do we have to submit our votes as a block or can we punt them in category by category? I have such a short memory span and paper for notes is hard to find at chez wizzle. If I need to Really keep track I will go out and buy a new box of crayons tomorrow. Tonight I am busy with livestock issues......fruitflys in my wine and racoons in my kitchen....both unwelcome.

The locks were as follows. On the icons, which were pictures of two-drawer filing cabinets with a giant clamp holding the cabinets, one jaw on top and the other jaw on the bottom with the tightenng screw assembly along the side. The icons with those clamps would do nothing, not open not quiver, nothing - except sit there quietly and whimper. So, I presumed, wrongly, (is it ever wise to presume?) that WinZip had locked them - and indeed, I think they have, but not for the scurrilous reason I attributed to them.

Yes, I remember those days. I was using FORTRAN and a version of BASIC to do my own numerical analyses. For a bit of my own history, I started working with fractals in 1985, when I was an aerospace engineer at NASA Ames. I wrote fortran programs to do the calculation, and print the iteration counts to a text file. Then, I would download those files onto my Amiga 1000 for the rendering in basic. I wrote my own encoding programs like uuencode to convert the binary to ascii for the transfer. I was writing (extremely crude) fractal animations back then, too. I also used a version of BASIC called UBASIC to do some serious study of the Mandelbrot set. UBASIC, a freeware basic interpreter, was written for number theory work, and can handle something like 2600 digits. Once, in a fit of anger, I wrote a fractal program for the Commodore 64. A salesperson told me that the C-64 couldn't handle the math, thus there were no fractal programs for it. I sure proved him wrong! My routine blazed along at the breakneck speed of 1 pixel per week, give or take a month. :-) Progress is good. - -------------------------------------------------------------- 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" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 22:48:17 -0700 From: "ursine" Subject: Re: (fractint) Zip locks This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_0019_01BDDDD6.450160E0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit all you are missing is an association for winzip. if you can run winzip, click file, then open and browse to those two files. you haven't unzipped them yet. - -----Original Message----- From: Ray Montgomery To: Date: Friday, September 11, 1998 10:12 PM Subject: (fractint) Zip locks > > Hi > > Thanks for the suggestions about my zipped but unattainable Contest files. >I have been able to get to them by punching a few other buttons and going >through a maze of side-doors and alleys - but, get to them I did. > For the record I could not find the key to the locks.

I figured this might amuse a few individuals. ;-} > > Question.....do we have to submit our votes as a block > or can we punt them in category by category? Well, here were the Rules as established before images were being submitted: 13. Voters should select one image in each category as the "best". Please do not skip categories! If you submitted an image in that category, you may vote for it if you wish. 16. Votes will be sent via e-mail. Each person will only be permitted to vote once. And besides, if you do try to vote for less than all catagories, you will receive the following message: Your vote was not accepted because you did not fill out all the required information. You must select an image in each category, as well as provide your name and e-mail address. Please check all items and submit your votes again. Sorry, but that is the current state of affairs. Better get that new box of crayons. (You will only need to write down 13 image numbers, so if paper for notes is hard to find, find a blank spot on the wall.) ;-} P.N.L. - ------------------------------------------------- http://www.fractalus.com/cgi-bin/theway?ring=fractals&id=43&go - -------------------------------------------------------------- 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" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 23:57:14 -0700 From: "Angela Wilczynski" Subject: Re: (fractint) Zip locks Ray.....
