- -=> Fractint to POV-Ray v0.5 <=-
-
- -=> Installation instructions <=-
-
- These installation instructions assume that you have
- already created a directory for Fractint to POV-Ray and
- unzipped or copied files to that directory. 'FRCT2POV' is
- suggested.
-
- To install the Fractint to POV-Ray package is easy.
- There are files that need to be moved to different
- locations. Some files need to be moved to the directory that
- you keep your POV-Ray source files and some need to be moved
- to your Fractint directory. There are some Windows icons
- that can remain in the Fractint to POV-Ray directory or can
- be moved to a sub-directory or a windows directory.
-
- The following is a list of file extensions and their
- associated directories.
-
- *.par -=> Fractint directory
- *.map -=> Fractint directory
-
- *.pov -=> POV-Ray source files directory
- *.inc -=> POV-Ray source files directory
-
- *.gif -=> POV-Ray source or other dir in POV's path.
-
- *.ico -=> Windows or FRCT2POV sub directory ( optional )
-
- All other files can remain in the FRCT2POV directory.
-
- If desired, you could move documentation files to a sub-
- directory to avoid a cluttered FRCT2POV directory.
-
- The following lines should be modified in the file
- 'FRCT2POV.INI':
-
- fp=C:\FRACTINT { or whatever your path is }
- pp=C:\POVRAY\POVFILES { or whatever your path is }
-
- Windows '.pif' file installation:
-
- The easiest way to install Fractint to POV-Ray in
- windows is to run the windows file manager and 'drag' the
- file 'FRCT2POV.PIF' into the desired program group. Then
- with the FRCT2POV 'DOS' icon selected select 'Properties'
- from the program manager's 'File' menu. Then select the
- 'Change icon' option and then select 'Browse'. You can then
- navigate to the location where the Fractint to POV-Ray icon
- resides and select it. If desired you could change the
- window title option to 'Fractint to POV-Ray'. The working
- directory should be the same as the 'FRCT2POV.PIF'
- directory.
-
- File moving procedures:
-
- These procedures assume that you have Fractint and POV-
- Ray installed with a directory for your POV-Ray source
- files.
-
- the following DOS commands can be used.
-
- CD C:\POVRAY\FRCT2POV { your path to this program }
-
- COPY *.PAR C:\FRACTINT { your path to fractint }
- DEL *.PAR
- COPY *.MAP C:\FRACTINT
- DEL *.MAP
- COPY *.POV C:\POVRAY\POVFILES { your path to POV files }
- DEL *.POV
- COPY *.INC C:\POVRAY\POVFILES
- DEL *.INC
- COPY *.GIF C:\POVRAY\POVFILES
- DEL *.GIF
-
- ( optional )
- COPY *.ICO C:\WINDOWS { your path to windows }
-
- ( if you have MS-DOS 6.0 or later you can use the MOVE
- command instead of copy and ignore the DEL commands )
