Along the same lines, an easier approach would be to put Fractint on a bootable CD with freedos. ........... We could make a Linux bootable CD that ran Xfractint.....
Or better still, have a FractInt CD that could be dual purpose for most any environment, whether Win-9x, NT, XP, MAC, Unix, Linux, etc...
The CD could also contain a complete collection of all the previous versions of FractInt through the years.
I have a copy of the last native OS/2 version, PMFractint 17.2. And there could be pars and formulas and color maps and all that fun stuff, too? 8-)
And if there is still room on the CD, a copy of the "Fractal Creations, 2nd Edition" companion CD.
That would take proper legal arrangements, right? Tim has those rights, right?
Plus, have the FractInt manual available in Text, MS-Word document,
No need for Word format - PDF is fine for those who want to print a copy. HTML is fine for online reading. If necessary, I'd even do without the Text version.
PDF format, and HTML.
This would make the CD something like a "Deluxe Colletor's Edition". Or if ready by this August, a "16th Year Anniversary Edition".
Totally cool and worth spending money on! 8-) David gnome@hawaii.rr.com
