No need to feel any sorrow about one of the oldest and longest-maintained open source projects, which by rights, was obsolete a decade ago. Mystery of mysteries, it's life continues on.
They said the same thing about COBOL decades ago, but I still see companies all the time looking for some of those old programmers (like me) that really know how to work with legacy applications.
FractInt will be around until the last of the old users have finally died, which hopefully will be a few more decades for some of us. :-) It will be around in source code fragments longer than that. A version of UltraFract featured an error identical to a fractint error: 180 colours in outside=atan. I didn't buy UltraFract, because the author said he wuzn't willing to support fractint formulas. I don't believe him, and by the same token, I did not buy.
