Paul de Leeuw has been working for some time on a Windows API port of Fractint. At his request I have put the program and the source in http://www.fractint.org/ftp/experimental/MANPWIN.zip and http://www.fractint.org/ftp/experimental/ManpWinSrc.zip His version supports truecolor and can due color cycling. He'd love to have some help. I'm itching to get back into Fractint myself but haven't decided where to dive in yet. I have a full life, so until I actually do this it's just an idea :-) Paul, since your source, though based on Fractint, is yours, maybe the first thing to do is to put the code under an open source license. I'd suggest GPL (but this would be up to you). In fact maybe what I ought to take on is the mundane task of GPL'ing fractint. This would mean going through the code module by module, and changing the license of the files we have copyright to, and gaining permission or rewriting or removing the rest. Tim
