ahh. sorta figured out how to get it to recognise my PARs... having said that, i may have encountered a "few" bugs... after trying one of my earliest (0004), the fractint window changed sizes, the information screen can't be resized (and is difficult to read), and the background colour went to an odd yellow/orange. the colour pallette is not accessible (an angry beep), so i may have to close and reopen the window... ahh, remembering the good ol' days :) 00 caren ParkGallery.org george davis creek, north fork On Wed, Dec 28, 2022 at 6:06 PM ck park <travelgirl.fics@gmail.com> wrote:
nice to hear from you timothy... i can't say i haven't thought about running a fractal program in the last 30 years, but when i did, it usually butted up against an inability of the hardware to run the software... like xfract recently :)

Caren, Yes it has been a while. What a pleasure to hear from you!
I can't improve on Jonathan's answer. The only thing he left out is you might actually be able to boot to DOS from a USB stick, but that is probably the hardest option.
Hey tTh, did we know you by another name in olden times???

oh, and if there's a program useable today (preferably free) that will read the old PAR files and generate images in larger resolutions than 1024x768, i'd love to hear about it. system is win10 if that helps, but i might be able to scrounge up some linux hardware if i had to...
