Please note that my web site is now http://www.hiddendimension.com and is

months ago, and I have announced it several times. The Mapmaker utility is
at http://www.hiddendimension.com. Click on DOWNLOADS to get to Mapmaker.
The TrueMand fractal program with a formula parser is at the same location,
and it is FREE! Source code is also available for the asking - it's old 16
bit stuff in C++. I don't think there is any Fractint code in there, except
by parallel evoluation. By the way, I think the $35 charge for UltraFractal
is appropriate. It is a great program.

I just downloaded and compiled it (linux).

Yeah... the real time zooming is great (something for fractint?). Had to do
it in a (??) 320x200 (??) window under X on my P166, but I was impressed.
Like flying through space. Just great!

Oh, something else. I am going to download the latest xfractint source right
now. I promised I'd check whether it compiles on RH5.2 (I upgraded to kernel
2.2.1 but that shouldn't really matter).

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.

A note to Benjamin S. Franzus ([e-mail].-
    While using and automated AOL session to quickly download my e-mail I was
surprised to see an attached file being downloaded as attachments are
discouraged on this list.  Also to my dismay my virus protection
software(Norton Anti-Virus) flashed a warning that this attachment contained a
virus. The virus was identified as the "Happy 99 worm virus. I sincerely hope
that the similarity between the announced subject and the name of the virus
are coincidence and not an indication that the presence of the virus was
deliberate, in which case you may want to do some maintenance on your machine.
Please be more careful with your postings in the future.

Greetings fractint-digest member.

A fractint list member uploaded as an attachment a program called
happy99.exe. This program is a worm-style virus that can cause
trouble if you attempt to open the attachment from within your
mailer. The attachment is in fractint-digest issue #364 that was
sent February 14.

If you want to know more about this, you will find some other
messages in the archive, including some links to web sites that tell
how to get rid of it.

Subject: (fractint) Yet another Parallelogram par

  In my last message, I noted that my Parallelogram formula was "slightly
optimized." I tested the optimized version before sending it, and it seemed
to work correctly. Naturally enough, I tried loading the same formula today
to explore some more, and instead of my precious rectangle structure, I came
up with a twisted Mandelbrot image. Interesting as this would have been at
any other time, I wanted my formula back. Testing my two previous pars with
the optimized formula yielded only one unremarkable image and one blank
screen, so I suppose the "real" formula is of more use. Both the
Parallelogram formula (correct) and the ParallelogramErr formula
("optimized") are posted below.

  Now, today's par, "City." This is certainly an interesting structure,
quite unlike the Mandelbrot images I'm accustomed to working with. Hm, maybe
if I zoom in closer I'll see the Fractal citizens walking the streets of
this Fractal city. Ah well, for another day. :-)

I know that - I run a few of them around here (several
versions fo WordPerfect, several versions of CorelDraw
and CorelPhotoPaint, etc). I even have TrueMand
here - does some very nice images, but sometimes
likes to leave blank lines when minimized. But I run OS/2
and W95 on the same box, and OS/2 runs faster and more
smoothly.

I suppose someday I'll have to download the Fractint
source and see about compiling it to an OS/2 native.
(Yes, I've futzed with the OS/2 version of WinFract - DOS
Fractint beats it hands down.) Of course, I'm no
programmer, so I'd probably just mess it all up ... <G>

Anyway, unless some experts are interested in producing a
native OS/2 version of DOS Fractint, I suspect this is
sufficiently offtopic to make it worth dumping my part of
the discussion.

I have tried that with an older version (?) of UF and an old version of WINE
(!). Unsuccessful. But there may be a good chance. TieraZon for instance
runs great under my wine.

I'll try to run UF. Unfortunately I'll have to dl the binaries (I have the
990214 source, but not enough HD space to compile...) and try it again.

I have compiled xfractint.... unsuccessfully.

I haven't really been debugging it yet, but this is what I get.

I compiled with gcc 2.7.(latest), RH5.2, kernel 2.2.1. Turned on -O3
optimization btw. No other options changed.

I hate to break the bad news to you, but the latest GCC is 2.8.1 and
there's also EGCS.

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.
