  The formula may be useful too! ;-)  Could you please post it?

The following should be the formula. Kerry Mitchell posted this a long time
ago which shows how right on top of things I am...  :). First line "(c)
Kerry Mitcheel 26 Aug 1998" I inserted just now and is taken from the
acompanying narrative supplied with the formula.)

general_man { (c) Kerry Mitchell 26 Aug 1998
     ;
        ; "general circle & line" coloring method for Mandelbrot
     ; c = pixel = Mandelbrot parameter
        ; p1 = x-circle center
        ; real(p2) = x-circle radius
        ; imag(p2) = y-line a
        ; real(p3) = y-line b
        ; imag(p3) = y-line c
     ; bailout hardcoded to 10^12
     ; use "decomp=256" coloring
     ;
        c=pixel, zc=0, bailout=1e12, iter=1, rmin=1e12
        cenx=p1, radx=real(p2), rad2x=radx*radx
        ay=imag(p2), by=real(p3), cy=imag(p3):
        iter=iter+1, zc=sqr(zc)+c
        tempx=|zc-cenx|-rad2x
        tempy=ay*real(zc)+by*imag(zc)+cy
        temp=tempx+flip(tempy), r=|temp|
        if (r<rmin)
          rmin=r, z=temp
          endif
        if ((|zc|>bailout)||(iter==maxit))

I believe Kerry posted this and the related formulas re-named.  There were
3 mandelbrot and 3 julia formulas for 2 general circles, 2 general lines
and general circle & line colouring methods.  You should check your
orgform.log file to find these and edit the par accordingly.

  You're right Mike!  It has been renamed as general_man-c&l.

Hi Les,

Thanks for the useful tips. Actually, I have found that I don't mind
starting Fractint with a viewwindow since I often go to it anyway.
And if instead I want to recall a gif, the full window is automatically
restored by fastrestore=yes.

Another question: how can I make a par file of an image generated by the
plasma formula?

Thanks,  Lee

  Hi Folks,
                   Here's a really strange ok-36.frm fractal.
       Does anyone know how I can detect any .dll extension files that are
redundant?(Windows3.1)  I know there's lots of them that don't have a program
anymore to make use of them and they're taking up loads of precious memory,
but I can't tell which ones are critical and which ones are trash. :(   If
anyone knows of a way to do this I'd be very grateful for a line directing me
how.    Thanks and enjoy the image.~

Subject: (fractint) Some new formulae and pars

Here are some new formulae and pars based upon Kerry Mitchell's ghost
method, but using exponential smoothing rather than the Vepstas log method.

The following are the formulae to use:

It looks like he has only had the Domain Name of Fractasia since it was
created on January 05, 1998 (which is going through the YAHOO servers).

I don't believe it is a registered trademark by that individual.  Check
out the following links for the word "fractasia":
    http://www.dnai.com/~wahl/dynamic.dsproducts.fp.html
    http://www.thezone.co.uk/data/POP_-07-2.html
    http://www.moviesource.com/vanguard/cat/catani.html
I believe the above are references to a video animation produced by
PRISM LEISURE in the USA around two years ago.

Information about Registered Trademarks (including databases that may be
searched) can be found at the following:

http://system.directhit.com/fcgi-bin/TopTen.fcg?q=registered+trademarks&r=36150.3820717593


And there is a link to Spanky's on this webpage using "fractasia":
    http://www.buffnet.net/~strider/page10.htm
Not to mention several other around the WWW.

Brian also was using an email address of mailto:[e-mail] on
October 18, 1998 when he was on the Usenet Newsgroups.

Sometime ago (October) I came up with this while fiddling around. It is
really nothing special, a simple spiral, but I liked the colors, and
tilting it some seems to add to it. The title seems apprpriate.

   Hi ,

      Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all and here's my favorite pic of
the day.
      Also, I'm planning on getting a new PC in a few days and am thinking
about a 350Mhz, 10Gb HD, 96Dram.  When I ran Fractint on my first PC(33Mhz,4Mb
ram), an image that would take let's say....34mins,...now takes 54 seconds on
my P75.  Will this same image be finished in something like 1 second on a
350Mhz???  If so, then I'm gonna go on a fractal frenzy for a few weeks after
I get a new one. :)

    Watch out~

I do not know if you have gotten a resolution yet, but there is a small
program known as "VESA to Config".  The actual executable module
VESA2CFG.EXE, checks the existence of a VBE (VESA BIOS Extension),
either built into the VGA BIOS ROM, or installed as a TSR driver.  If a
VBE is detected, an appropriate CFG file is created.  You can use this
information to adjust the FRACTINT.CFG file that comes with Fractint.

Exact details about this should probably come from somebody more
familiar with both of these areas, but a ZIP file is available at the
following location:
    http://home.att.net/~Fractals_1/vesa2cfg.zip

Some of the information contained within is self explanatory, but it is
lacking a complete description.

Thanks for all the suggestions - now you've got me thinking!.
I'll definitely do a sensible re-vamp of my pages over the Christmas holiday
(and I'll lose the piggy too - it was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction ;-).

Jim, you're pretty prolific now, I'm *terrified*!

Jim Weaver, artistic and bright,
Got a 'puter much faster than light;
He started at one
And the image was done
At seven the previous night.

(Leaving plenty of time for the next 2,500 or so, before dinner!)

ROTFL.

Is this the first entry into the Fractal Limerick contest?

So are we going to combine fractals and limericks- we could call it
fractalimeria. Bet that hasn't been claimed.
There once was a fractal design
it looked like a tree, just a pine
we took a sharp pencil
and played with a stencil
and before long it was really benign
