I find that my ability varies a lot, especially early in the morning after a late night .....
Of course, the advantages in porting fractint are that you have a working model to compare with,
which is enormously useful (not to mention confusing).

From one who knows how much time programming fractint takes ... The only caveat is programmer ability does vary enormously - my 2000 hour estimate assumed very good skills but not world class genius. I would say that the original fractint has more like 4000 hours.
