FracTools 3.0 - The CD ROM
Copyright Bourbaki, Inc. & Quanta Press, Inc. 1993
This version of FracTools on CD ROM includes a truly phenomenal collection
of fractals. There are over 500 "original" images, provided in each of three
formats. These include:
* 640x480 / 256 color FracTools (.FF0) format
* 1024x768 / 256 color FracTools (.FF0) format
* 640x480 / 256 color PCX format
There are an additional 200+ 640x480 / 256 color PCX images, adding up to a
total of 1700+ images. They are organized by resolution and format, in
different directories off the root of the CD. The main directories are:
* 6X4IMAGE - 640x480 / 256 color FracTools files
* 1X7IMAGE - 1024x768 / 256 color FracTools files
* 6X4PCX - 640x480 / 256 color PCX files
In addition to the phenomenal collection of images, this CD ROM version of
FracTools has some significant enhancements. These include:
* CDLOOK - "Thumbnail" Caching Utility for viewing,
copying and printing images on the CD
* FRACSHOW - Enhanced version with the ability to traverse the
directory structure to run slide shows with images in
different directories
* FTSAVER - Special FracTools CD Screen Saver for Windows
* FTPUZZLE - Image Puzzle Program for .FF0, .BMP, .GIF, and PCX images
* FRACTRAC - Mandelbrot Fractal Orbit Generator
All the programs on this CD, (except FTSAVER), can be run without installation.
However, you may want to install FracTools / FT3, if for no other reason than
to create a directory on your hard disk to save new fractal images that you may
generate.
