Paul asked:
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.
I was really not looking to be a coordinator for such a project, just a volunteer worker. But if this is to actually proceed, and nobody else wishes to take on the role, then I do not mind attempting to keep things running smoothly.
We could distribute ISO images. ......... ........ I'm sure we could get some volunteer to burn CD's and mail them out for a nominal fee.
Once the ISO images are made available, then anybody willing to be listed as a "Volunteer CD Burner" could distribute mailed copies to those without high-speed connections. This could reduce costs of mailing based upon whom is closest to the requestor, especially when overseas and coutries are involved.
To my way of thinking, the most important part of this project is making a bootable CD that runs Fractint.
I agree, and to have it work in as many environments as is possible. The supplying of .FRM, .MAP, and .PAR files along with the CD is the easiest part, since these collections already exist. And I already have both MS-Word and RTF copies of the FractInt manual which can be easily converted into a PDF file.
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.
If anybody else out there that wishes to get involved in some way, please send or post an email to one of these Lists: mailto:Fractint@mailman.xmission.com mailto:Fractdev@mailman.xmission.com Or privately to one of the other volunteers: mailto:twegner@swbell.net Tim Wegner mailto:mreinig@pacbell.net Marc Reinig mailto:JackOfTradeZ@comcast.net JoTz mailto:Paul.N.Lee@Worldnet.att.net Paul N.
