First the Oops!I forgot to enter anything in the subject line in my last post and I might have made a mess of things.Hope this rectifies the situation. Some replies to Paul N. Lee's questions about running Fractint under DOSBox and Vista.Hopefully this information will be helpful to other mailing list members. To begin with DOSBox is an emulator that allows old DOS games and applications to run under modern OS's like XP and Vista.Go to http://www.dosbox.com/ to learn more and download both DOSBox and D-Fend Reloaded.I use the latest versions- version 0.73 for DOSBox and version 0.9.3 for D-Fend Reloaded. DOSBox itself uses a command line -it looks like old DOS.D-Fend Reloaded provides a familiar graphical interface to simplfy configuring DOSBox.To get the maximum speed when setting up D-Fend Reloaded I choose Max under the CPU section of the hardware profile.Other values I left at their defaults.About using IrfanView (or something similar) for resizing and anti-aliasing on my blog.My blog is just starting and decided to introduce myself to the mailing list members first.I figure if you suscribe to the mailing list you are interested making fractals so I posted the Fractint generated gifs with the par information intact so they could be read by Fractint and serve as a starting off point to generate new images.Which reminds me I forgot to include the formula information! Maybe I should include both original and anti-aliased graphics in my posts. Finally about large gifs.The Disk/RAM entries in fractint.cfg can be edited in Notepad to provide custom resolutions.I copied some lines from the default Fractint.cfg as an example.The new cfg file must be saved in the old txt format. AF1 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 800, 600, 2,Full-Page L-Jet @ 75DPI AF2 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 1600, 1200, 2,Full-Page L-Jet @ 150DPI AF3 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 768, 960, 2,Full-Page Epson @ 120DPI AF4 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 960, 720,256,Full-Page Paintjet 90DPI <== Edit me! AF4 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 2400, 1800,256,<== Looks like this. AF5 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 800, 600,256,For Background Fractals AF6 ,Disk/RAM 'Video' , 3, 0, 0, 0, 11, 2048, 2048,256,For Background Fractals In the AF4 entry the value 960 has been changed to 2400.This is the horizontal resolution.The value 720 has been changed to 1800. This is the vertical resolution.The value 256 which is the number of colors is unchanged.Note that if either horizontal(x) or vertical(y)values are greater than 2048 Fractint plots uses the passes=1 mode.This can slow things down significantly.
