Gedeon,

  Odds are John is unaware that it's been posted. The "happy99.exe"
attachment has been reported as a "worm" class virus that will mail itself
to people/lists that it finds on the users machine when executed. See
http://www.datafellows.com/news/pr/eng/19990129.htm for more info.

Odds are - _from what I haveread about this worm_ - is that it is not
possible Mr. Wilson did not know he was infected. The virus appears on the
monitor with some crap about 1999. The worm itself is relatively benign -
from what I have read; it apparently does not damage your system but is an
annoyance. It is very simple to clean your system: Windows\System
directory, delete ska.exe, ska.dll, and liste.ska is a list of where the
worm was sent.  Also, Winsock32.dll will now have to be deleted (if anyone
was dumb enough to run it) since it is now corrupted. The worm is
thoughtful though, it adds Winsock32.ska which is the old Winsock32.dll.
Rename Winsock32.ska to Winsock32.dll. After completion of the above, send
yourself a test message to insure you are not infected (it should not show
up). If clean, you are ok.
And subscribe to the alt.comp.virus NG.
So maybe this will make it to the list...

Subject: (fractint) paste & go mkII

Hi Folks,
     After some tweaking a much improved version of paste & go is available
here:

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/robin.b2/pastengo.zip  (8k)

It's still small but now features seperate windows for pasting in the
formula and parameter sections, to cope with those messages containing loads of
images based around the one formula. It also has an archiving
feature for storing the pars you like and a button which removes the dreaded =3D
encoding sometimes found here.

I've also realised that this is a great utility for those of you that like to
tweak formulae, you can edit the text and test it with one click, no more save,
load fractint, run formula, etc etc cycles.

Anyway enough bandwidth wasting methinks, have a go if you like, it's free, it's
simple, it does exactly what it says on the buttons :-)

Cheers,
     Robin.

Where could I find Xaos? As long as UltraFractal and
other GUI-based fractal generators remain tied into the
proprietary MS GUI, I'm not inclined to use them.

Not surprised - you have a different Diamond card.

I ordered an Elsa Gloria Synergy card for my birthday, so
we'll see how that works under W95. Hardware 3D support -
hmmm, wonder if the Fractint team wants to write up their
3D fractal code and add it to Fractint??? <G>

I clicked on Happy99a.exe, and when I went to save it, my McAfee virus
protection informed me that this file is infected with the "H32/SKA
virus". So I deleted it and sent this letter of warning.

Concerning the Happy.exe, I've received the fireworks in December '98, and was

One more point: It was just mentioned that although the fireworks were
seen, the computer wasn't infected. (Forgot who...) Locate Winsock32.dll
(if running Win95/98, if 3.1 or Mac, evidently the worm does not take...).
Right click on Winsock32.dll, click on properties tab, General (I think,
check the tabs), then make sure "Read Only" is checked. If so, the computer
in question will not be infected. Or so I read. Even so...
But enough of this; I'm sure everyone has already found out all of this info.

Dear Barry,

In answer to your query:

No.
Fractint does not come with a screen saver at all.
But one has been written to be used in conjunction with Fractint.
For more info, visit:

http://home.sol.no/~thbernt/fintsave.htm

I can't get the screen saver work because in "Settings" (in Control Panel -
Display, etc.) the screen saver software cannot seem to find my PARs.  This
led me to think that their might have evolved a de facto naming convention
for the subdirectory within which one's PARs reside -- a convention of which
I am obviously unaware.  If you can solve my dilemma, please notify me.

Thanks.

I apologize to everyone for the posting of the "happy99"  program.
The person who posted it has been removed from the list.

I do not object to the several helpful messages that were posted on
this subject concerning the nature of the virus, in fact I appreciate
them. Generally, though, do not post messages about viruses to
this list; the happy99 fiasco is the excption that proves the rule.

I now ask that unless there is some new development in this
situation, that further conversation on this topic be limited to direct
email to me.

Thanks.

Xaos is a very interesting program. It runs under DOS, Liunux, and
now Windows. It's most unique feature is real-time zooming. And,
for the programmers, it is open source.

Though I can understand the aversion to MS, it is a shame.  There are a
lot of useful programs available from a variety of sources that run on
Windows.

Hi Gedeon,

Just visited your pages and am very impressed.  Gone thing I got a
cd-rw with my computer upgrade. :)  I enjoyed all of your galleries,
not just the fractals.

Hi Jon,

I tried going to your page but got a message that it couldn't be
found.  Was I too late getting there?  I'm about four digests behind.

I think whoever it was didn't intend that to happen, and ejecting him from
the list is wrong. At the very least let him back on when he's disinfected
his system.

Hey, that's weird. It seems to come and go. What the hell would cause a DNS

Real programmers like vending machine popcorn. Coders pop it in the
microwave oven. Real programmers use the heat given off by the CPU. They can
tell what job is running just by listening to the rate of popping.
