I also need to note that Hiram did attach sloshdun.map to his message, but the list moderated has specifically said not to post any attachments to the list. The Fractint recordcolors=Y command easily gets around this restriction. Lee

I think we would be better off with a white-list for list-specific, text attachments if this ever has to be enforced. I would recommend Text/XFractint for .par .map and .frm extensions on your local machine be added to your mimetypes rejistry (something that is used mainly for transmission, it being up to the receiver to decide what to actually render it with). I don't think there's anything else that uses .ifs, either. In my case, that involves delays, because I don't own that mimetypes file unless I'm using PPP. .trn doesn't meet the text restriction, but you might make an exception there, since you'll hav some idea of what the risks are, and IFS is more intelligible as triangles than seven numbers per line.

Besides that file extension being used by FractInt to save/read Iterated Function System parameters, here are some others: Apophysis Brazil * Chaos ChaosPro Dust Fractals Fractal Explorer * Glito ManPWin * Root-IFS Visions of Chaos WinFract (*) different format and not compatible with FractInt. And then there is always the IBM OS/2 System which used that same file extension.

So far, I've got a request to my sysadmin for writing text/XFractint in as the type for .par , .frm , and .map Transformational operations and rates derived from triangles are a hard stone to cook, now, because I still hav trouble getting past using FDESIGN to draw. There's an interactive tutorial in Java around somewhere, but that's for when I'm at the library or my neighbour's place (if I can keep his browser from seeking porn and spam and telling me to hide my IP number)*. Perhaps it's my goal (my font, which is itself built upon transformational rules), but I don't see how those triangles work out to "FRACTINT", or "DUG", either. * I don't know why it took me so long to think of it, but disabling JavaScript seems like the most obvious way to do that. It's just that he'll probably want me to turn it back on.

Yep. Here on my OS/2 box, IFS stands for Installable File System, a delightful feature which lets OS/2 read disk formats that Windows has no clue about and doesn't even give you the option to read it. OS/2 and Fractint get along great. Windows98 and Fractint here are like putting two male Siamese fighting fish in the same tank. David gnome@hawaii.rr.com

My neighbour uses XP, and I set the properties of the icon for FRACTINT on his machine to "auto" for all the memory types. FRACTINT goes with disk space for disk-video modes when you do that, but at least it doesn't stall every ten or fifteen lines. I guess M$ has their own ideas about how to giv I/O-bound tasks priority.
