I have the old Winfract 18.21 that takes lesser time to draw the fractals as compared with the new Fractint 20.xxxx in my XP, but IT IS an obsolete software. 1. I was amazed of Paul´s http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/SetupManpWIN.exe that is very, very rapid, but was disappointed by the small number of types of fractals available and color changes dificulties. (He says he used the old Winfract routines). 2. The other way, I was decived by the speed in Jonathan´s the new Winfract although it has all the Fractint´s types of fractals. I know that I will aways be a fervorous fan of Fractint, an almost 20 years of fidelity, but newer and newer Windows are making it slower. As I cannot even think in contributing in any programing, I humbly subject the proposition of "linking" the speed achieved by Paul´s with the Winfract friendly status bar of Jonathan´s, including his complete fractal types, as much as Fractint´s.
