One of the problems in the creation of a Fractint collection would appear to be the creation of a "soft" copy of "Fractal Creations". Now I have only the First Edition, but I tested the feasibility of using OCR to make that soft copy available. Just a couple of pages conviced me that this is do-able, altough a lot of work is involved. My question is...is it worth doing? If anyone would be interested, I might just go ahead and acquire the Second Edition, and plunge into the task.
For the graphics, it would be useless. The question is still good if someone wants to re-use the text in a word processor or desktop publisher (in an approximate fashion), and that might as well be a personal negotiation with Tim Wegner. Perhaps shoot him an example, but last time I read anything about it (and I'm replying to e-mail in chronological order), he was on holidays, so you can expect a lot of lag time on the reply.
Best way to handle the graphics would be to include the PARs and regenerate the images, then pull them into the text appropriately, and provide it as a web page on the CD. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com
