Hello I played with Fractint on my old DOS PCs and remembered the colour cycling mode. I even have a boot "Fractal Creations" from 1993!! I have now installed the programme on my windows PC and have it all working fine except that I would like it not to take up the whole screen. I've looked all through the file list and cannot see a .bat or anything else where I might change the setting. I am interested in making an .avi file, thence a dv film, from the colour cycling to use as an effect in a play. Does anyone know if this can be done. I have tried the windows version of fractint but the colour scrolling doesn't work. I am aware that Fractal Explorer has an .avi making mode and will use this if I have to but it is the colour cycling that I really wanted. Can anyone help, I would be most grateful Margaret -- Margaret Willmer London NW6 1HZ -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
