Subject:	Re: (fractint) Par Contest






A bit of explanation if I may:

In re: the first one below, the fractal was quite delicate. Unfortunately I
am afflicted with a debilitating disease commonly referred to as
"Clumsyitis"; on attempting to transport the poor thing I tripped on the
Persian rug, and, well, the result was a shattered fractal.  :>

I then retired to my 65000km interferometer and located an astrophysical
singularity and imaged it. The result shows the Event horizon...  :>

Since the operation of my lab requires a certain amount of expense, I
obtain the necessary funds by mining beneath my mountain. A snapshot of
what I obtain is in the third fractal.  :>

On a more serious note, after generating these, saving the pars to an
exterior application, then copy/pasting them back into fractint, I
encountered no problems with them.

For the contest: examples of my tinkering:

While this is not related to the contest, just thought I would forward this
.par also. Hope it offends no one:
