Paul asked:
Do you actually mean the physical book itself, or a digital copy of all it's contents??
I have copies physical books. I meant I unfortunately did not get the final Pagemaker file that the book was printed from.
You already have the 458-MB companion CD ISO image in your possesion. The rest of it is available if you so desire.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, I have put the FC2E CD online as an ISO file at www.fractint.org.
I will volunteer my archives and time for whatever it will take to create and complete such a project. But once finished, will the total size of all things included require two CDs (or more), and how will this collection be made available and distributed??
You would be a great person to coordinate such a project. We could distribute ISO images. There's probably a bit more capacity at fractint.org to host the images, but we can check into the hosting issues when we get there. I don't want to make unreasonable requests of Damien Jones, but so far he has been very accomodating. I doubt the online FC2E ISO image has caused much fractint.org bandwidth Don't everyone start downloading the CD all at once :-) I'm sure we could get some volunteer to burn CD's and mail them out for a nominal fee. To my way of thinking, the most important part of this project is making a bootable CD that runs Fractint. That's probably not too hard. How big the whole project is I couldn't say. I'd suggest limit the project to one CD for starters. I'm willing to work on this, but keep in mind I have a very full life, and can only work on a project like this in fits and starts. And further I'll be away (mostly ) for two weeks starting June 16th. I don't see this as a fast project. But then if it doesn't depend on me it could be fast <grin!> Tim
