I have scoured the net and managed to find about 80% of them but the rest are rather elusive. If any of you folks have horded PAR files from this period or know of some sensible person who has an archive (I lost mine in a drive crash) that is on or off the net could you point me in the right direction?
Don't you have a Fractal Creations 2nd Edition CD? I had posted an ISO image of the disk at fractint.org until recently, but took it down because it was creating a download bandwidth problem for the web host. Looks like the CD has only GIF images, not PAR files, but you could certainly recreate PAR files of your files from the images. Coincidently several fractint contributors from the past have recently reappeared here. Marc Reinig and Peter Moreland are two. Lee Skinner and Caren Park have been lurking all along. Good to hear from the two of you! Hmm Fractint's not TOO old, dates to about 1988 :-) Tim
