Whaddaya know, I found one.  :-)

Following is a very crude PERL script (since I'm not a PERL expert)
that will take a list of .PAR files, and spit out the contents of
the individual pars like:

jo_we_01.par,jowe0101,formula,_k.frm,wiltetrate,0/0/0/0/0/0

which is

filename, par name, type, formula file, formula, params

Those familiar with PERL could easily change the script to output
different fields, change the order, etc.

I did not extensively test it, so I can't guarantee there won't be any
problems.  It should run on a Win version of PERL, but I can't test that
option.  All the rest of the standard disclaimers apply, use at your own
risk, unsupported, no implied or actual warranties, etc.

If anyone decides to improve it, feel free to do so.  Just please send
me a copy if you do.  Other than that, have fun with it.  I hope it can
be found useful.

I found the answer to my question about how to get RGB, or at least
"continuous color histogram" fractals.

Download Tierazon!

See

http://home.hiwaay.net/~stephenf/

I'm sure this is un-PC, kind of like telling a CorelDream3D conference about
POV-Ray.  But if I had the question, I'm sure others would have.

The same people that brought you PSP (JASC at http://www.jasc.com/ )
have a couple of items available at their website.

Then there is "ThumbsPlus" by Cerious Software Inc., which may be found
at http://www.cerious.com/ .

And at least a half dozen others are available.

Hi folks,

Here's an idea I used to use when I had my 24mB 486 - make a RAMdisk with
RAMDRIVE.SYS, copy the whole of FRACTINT onto it, and then run it from
that disk, and create your disk-video images there! This obviously
provides a considerable increase in speed.

I don't know how well that will work under 95 or 98 though, as I haven't
tried it...

I already posted this approach. Ramdrive.sys does work fine with win95. I
guess it works with 98 as well, but haven't tested it yet.

U.S. House passes Internet copyright bill
- -----------------------------------------
  (Posted at 6:28 PM PT, Aug 4, 1998)

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday approved by a voice vote a
bill that extends copyright protection to material on the Internet.

The bill, based on treaties drafted by the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) in December of 1996, covers written material and
sound recordings.  Its intent is to protect copyright holders, including
software developers, recording artists, and publishers, from illegal
electronic distribution of intellectual property.

The U.S. Senate in May approved its version of the bill.  The House and
Senate bills will be sent to a conference committee to work out the
differences between the two versions.  The Senate is in recess until
Sept. 1 and the House is on break from Aug. 10 to Sept. 8, so the
conference committee will not meet until both return.

> I don't think anyone minds!

The charter for this list allows fractal-related discussion involving any program.
We don't have to apologize for dominance of fractint talk, which is not always
welcome elsewhere (understandably), but discussion related to other fractal
programs is certainly welcome here.

Subject: (fractint) quickie pars

Just a few images for your perusal.
Just want to thank everyone involved for:
    alt-tabing into and out of windows without scambled soup display
    I can now use all the vesa modes on my computer (SF7 fantastic high
resolution...need a bigger monitor)

Has anyone had any problems with Fractint in win98?  I loaded Fractint on my
computer at work and all it does is abort and tell me I don't have enough
memory!  its a pentiumII 300mhz 64mb ram.  I've tried in dos mode also and the
same problem occurs (thank God for my travel laptop..just imagine work w/o
Fractals).  This could just be a intranet set up issue but I can't ask my ITM
to reconfigure the computer for fractint.  My big fear is; if I upgrade at
home and I can't run fractint I'll loose my mind not to mention withdrawl
pains.

I just installed win98 here at chez wizzle and have had no problems
running fractint by starting right out with a dos prompt with win98 up
and running.

HOW!!! I have never heard of anyone who is able to get Fractint to run un=
der
NT4.0 , onscreen, at any res other than 320 or so. Certainly never 800x60=
0
or 1024x768.

How did you accomplish this miracle?

Will it color-cycle?

The effects of SDD under winNT can actually be quite weird... completely wrong
card detection, from 50 to 12 modes, pallette screwing up, etc.

SF7 (1024x768x256)a fantastic resolution?? Where have you been :-)

Guess Win98 screwed up your startup files. Loading too much stuff in low
memory area.

Angela,
depending on whether you really want JPGs you could think about doing
this within fractint.  The following worked for me:

fractint filename=aug1601.gif viewwindows=yes savename=redtest1
batch=yes

or viewwindows=5 for a specific reduction ratio
or viewwindows=/0.75//100/0 for an exact thumbnail size (100 pixels
wide, preserving 0.75 aspect ratio)

These are perfect thumbnails and the great thing about this is it keeps
the parameters in the same file so you don't have to worry about
matching filenames to par entries to re-generate them.

I haven't tested the following but something like this should allow you
to reduce all images in a directory:

for %g in (*.gif) do fractint filename=%g viewwindows=yes savename=%g
overwrite=yes batch=yes

You could copy the images to another directory, or include a path in the
savename= (is this possible?) to avoid writing over the originals ...

Joe
