"The Word For World Is Forest" - U. K. le Guin I like what Albrecht is doing and has done with Fractint, but I have little time for making fractals at the moment. So I look at his images and go, "Someday I'll get to do something with his formulae." Does anyone know if Xfractint has the same memory limitations as DOS Fractint? David W.

Albrecht,

    If you're familiar with le Guin, I'm surprised that you don't know Douglas Adams.  I was irresistibly reminded of "So long and thanks for all the fish" when I thanked you for all your fractals.   Sorry, didn't mean to confuse, I leave that job to you.   "Das Wort für Welt ist Wald"?  The closest analogy I can think of is;  "Can't see the forest for the trees". I'll drink to that.      In your words, "I have tried more than once to explain the whole story but every time had to learn that no one else was willing or able to follow ​​ ​".   Maybe this should have been written; "​I don't have the talent to make my subject interesting and informative enough to gain a wider audience".  Yes? ​ Stay amazing,

John W.

You know, Albrecht, I believe you would be far more appreciated if you would just SLOW DOWN A LITTLE

Slow down? - The journey has ended April,2015. Since then no more updates to mfr14_2 were published..And a time of more then 10 years is not that fast, isn´t it ? I´m sticking with Cubby since July without problems - only from time to time I must use the cloud space for other purposes and after that the link has changed, sorry for that. But I see the problem - other users share it with you - : I´m extending the limits of Fractint and to do so I have to do things which are not easy to follow or understand, breaking the rules so to speak. For instance I use the inputs in a way not intended by the original authors and the whole Multifractal concept is not easy to understand.  I only will mention the problem how to tell the frm when to stop iterating or go on to the next participating formula, starting to iterate again or go on iterating - still calculating the same pixel. I have tried more then once to explain the whole story but every time had to learn that no one else was willing or able to follow.. As far as I know only Jonathan and (partly) Hal and Paul  understand  what´s going on. But it´s my Baby and to know that you´re the only one in the world creating  this kind of fractal images is worth every effort. Agreed?
