As for the ultimate par file collection.... ....there are many that differ by just one byte.... The result is having to examine quite a few files by hand which I haven't yet done.
Which is why it is taking me so long to get a single downloadable copy ready. (I do have a regular job and other things to do.) ;-}
One thing which is of issue is that some Pars refer to a specific map which doesn't exist and Fractint chokes. Rather than amass a map collection, might it not be better to notify the default map is used instead and show the fractal anyway?
There are some extensive MAP file collections available. (I personally only have about 2,000 in my directory path.) But using a default MAP file can many times alter the image appearance to something that is nothing like what the originator intended to express from the PAR.
