Still,the implementation of the formula parser was pivotal IMHO (I, at least, wouldn't have used it to such an extent without it). And I'm not sure you would see such *extensive* scripting capabilities in some modern fractal renderers without Fractint existing.
It is amazing how many of the modern (and even older) fractal generators owe their beginnings, or even many of their functions and abilities, to FractInt. After all, look how many have the ability to open and use the PAR, FRM, and/or MAP files which comes from FractInt. This was one of the major promotional features of UltraFractal, since it was written to take advantage of all three of these FractInt files. And any program outside of FractInt which uses the FRM files must have that extensive scripting capability.
