Tony, Now that you are back from your trip (I hope it was fun and relaxing), can you elaborate on these points you mentioned earlier?

4. Removal of some limitations (I've mentioned this before; not the highes t priority, but not too difficult to implement either I think, once Fractint migrates from DOS). Namely, *.l file limit of 2000 entries (Hanmer Tiles are infinite in number...), and L-system programming string limit of 256 characters (I think that's the current limit) (Hanmer Tile programming can lead to very long strings).
This can be done for the next beta.
6. IF-THEN programming. There are all sorts of possibilities for this, most of which I probably am not informed enough to imagine. Again, they would greatly extend L-systems programming.
Can you provide some sort of specification of how this would affect the L-system grammar? I have seen probabilistic L-systems and other extensions of continuous parameters into L-systems done by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz in his SIGGRAPH papers and books, but I don't recall him introducing a conditional extension.
7. 3d is perhaps not more than a dream or a distant goal, if anything.
Do you mean 3D a la P.P.'s extensions? Can you elaborate on this a little more?
