I'd prefer an Android version, myself. ;) Fractint running on a tablet(?) via a DOS emulator. I'd think it be doable on a phone. That probably wouldn't meet Apple design guidelines, tho.

I got Fractint running on my (now ancient and needing an upgrade) Samsung Galaxy S3. It involved an emulator and required installing a different keyboard. I first reported this in February 2013: This is completely crazy, but I installed a dosbox app on my Samsung Galaxy S3, copied fractint onto the phone, and was able to run Fractint! I'm not saying the user experience is acceptable, especially with the awkwardness of going back and forth to the onscreen keyboard, which blocks the screen in landscape mode, but that it works at all is a minor miracle! The android dosbox app was the free aDosbox. I may just dig deep and get a $4 DosBox app that is reputed to be better. I vaguely recall, but didn't report this to the list, that I also installed a new keyboard ("The Hacker's Keyboard") in order to be able to use all the keystrokes Fractint needs. Running Fractint under Android works but I wouldn't say it's practical for any actual work. Someone who is a more fanatic Fractint user than me might prove otherwise. Tim
