Someone asked: ""Since you mentioned booting DOS, did you ever run Fractint from DOS?"".
I do not understand the question! If I boot from a DOS 7.0 CD, am I not then running fractint in DOS ??
I created the CD by first making a boot floppy in Win9X, then a CD burning program (Easy CD Creator ver 5.0, rather old software) has the ability to create boot CD using the floppy as source; I also add misc DOS files to it as I needed.
The original HD was of course formatted NTFS, and couldn't be seen after DOS boot. But "Partition Magic 8.0" software allows conversion of partitions back to FAT32, something I had thought not possible.
On the FAT32 partition is fractint and all needed files; it all works perfectly.
I have been using flat (LCD) monitors forever - both on my old Win9X boxes and the current systems. The only problem is that they have a "default" resolution mode that may not be what you want for fractals; it still works however.
