Ray:
I also use an evaluation copy of WinZip6.3. Up to this moment, I have done lots of
downloads and lots of unzipping with this tool, without problems. 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?
Regards,
Diosnel

Not only did I download all 40MB, I got them to unzip. I also spent nearly
16 hours over 3 days going through all the images. My votes were cast
yesterday. Today I rested. I can look forward to creating fractals again
without having to worry about the contest. Don't get me wrong. I loved
being a part of it, from creation to voting. I'm just glad it's finally
over. :)
Good luck everybody, and congratulations to everyone involved. :)

From: "Jay Hill" <ehill1@san.rr.com>
Subject: Re: (fractint) Emboss
Hi Kerry,
The effect you have displayed is similar to what I used in
Deepzoom back in the days of DOS and 386 machines. 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.
Jay

Subject: Re: (fractint) Re; contest web site
Leaving aside the main points of contention on which a meeting of minds is
unlikely, I'd like to address a couple of points (in separate messages):
Damien writes:
>... 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.

Chris.....
True enough.....but in my own download frenzy I tried both my isp's. One connects at
28.8 and the other at 56.6. There was almost no diff in the estimated download
time.....so I have to attribute that to a busy server. My idea was to distribute the
load. A european server would be terrific.......I've certainly noticed that "clog"
across the Atlantic lines when I try to access european sites. In the best of all
possible worlds we might have a primary site and a north american mirror (me) plus a
european mirror (tbd). Any takers out there in Europe?? Do I have to move to
Latvia????? I'm Latvian at least by speach and parentage....but I don't think the
country is quite ready for a puter nut of my caliber.

Hahahahhhahahaha......rofl....well....your pain and agony is much appreciated paul.
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.

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. 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.
But thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate that.
Ray

Subject: Re: (fractint) Emboss
Jay,
> For those who are new to fractals, a little history.
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.

all you are missing is an association for winzip.
if you can run winzip, click file, then open and browse to those two files.

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.) ;-}

Linux will run DOS programs, but not protected mode applications like I

ever could on Linux. The fractint home page on spanky.triumf.edu has it, but
I forget the exact URL. And remember, if you have any problems just send me
