. The FracTools 3.0 CD is downloadable here: http://www.fractal-animation.net/fractools.zip It is 365 MEG. It took me 40 minutes to upload with my commie-cast high-speed (LOL) connection. The FracZoom software is only 33Kb: http://www.fractal-animation.net/fraczoom.zip I have tons of old fractal software from the DOS '90's, including the original "Fractal Creations" CD for FractInt which is bound to be an immortal classic. I was living in Philly at the time and they had these computer show / flea markets a few times a year. Got lotsa good stuff then, including the complete VB6 suite for $120 ! .

Thank you very much for making this available. It took me a little bit less time to download than it did for you to upload (around 32 minutes). Wish I could afford a true high-speed connection.

I believe Tim Wegner made the ISO file of that CD available at one time. I too have quite a bunch of old fractal related software, source code, and more. But alas, I know I do not have everything that was once available to the public.
....including the complete VB6 suite for $120 !
Somewhere I have all the versions of VB going back to an update of version 1 (on the original floppy disks). My Win-98-SE system still has working copies of both VB4 and VB6 (and Visual Studio Pro rel.6). Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------ http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/

I did, but the Damien did not want me to host it at fractint.net because of the load on his server. Given that he was donating the space and bandwidth, that was entirely reasonable. I don't have that limitation any more since the web site is now hosted at dreamhost. I will make the ISO available, but don't hold me to a deadline. I have now retired, and since my time is available to do what I want and I have way too many ideas of things to do, it takes a while sometimes :-) Tim
Hi Tim, I suggest wearing two watches - you will have more time on your hands to do the things you want. alex On 2013-02-20, at 2:33 PM, Tim Wegner <tim@tswegner.net> wrote:

Very funny! :-) Seriously, I am very grateful. When I go to college reunions I am reminded that not every baby boomer gets to retire. My NASA career (I had several careers before NASA) spanned from the fourth shuttle flight to more than a year after the last shuttle flight. I was involved in various spacecraft navigation projects, mainly dealing with GPS, and had a really good time both as a developer and project manager, but never stopped developing right up to my last day of work. I volunteered for what turned out to be the last of many United Space Alliance layoffs, so managed to get some severance pay. Not "having time" is all good, I just have a long list of projects I want to do. I've done a lot of them already, like blowing away the firmware of a wireless router with dd-wrt, upgrading my Soekris Leaf box (google is your friend to know what that is), making a standing desk, running Fractint on my phone. A few of them are partially done, like creating some virtual machines to run environments that can build Fractint, establishing a Google plus presence. The list increases faster than the projects get done. :-) Tim

You deserve it, Tim!

Someday I may get to retire, unless US corporations continue their successful drive to keep pushing the retirement age up. I have long list of things I want to do! So at least occasionally I try to get started on them! -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/

Just grabbed it now at speeds ranging from 300-900KB/sec on our Roadrunner connection. If I were uploading it, it would be going up at about 120KB/sec, that's the max upload speed RR gives us. Note about RR: when everyone's home on Friday and the kids are doing their digital things, we don't get this kind of download speed. I had a coworker who lives on the windward side of Oahu, the neighborhood that was the first to get cable modem service (they got it free for a year as part of the testing process). Their neighborhood, of course, is now saturated with RR cable connections, and they used to frequently find themselves getting the same speeds as 33K dial-up modems ... Thanks for sharing the zip!
