The vision Dr. J got last night proved to be nothing more than a severe headache, not unlike what you get when you are hit by lightning. And considering the antenna Dr. J was using, I'm not surprised. When Dr. J cools down and stops fizzing and sputtering, and collects his pixels, maybe we can ask him if he has learned anything.

The parameter and formula files for Fractint are included below. Copy them
into a quickie.par file for quick loading into Fractint. For longer term
use, copy the frm: block into a FotN.frm file. But this time leave off the
'frm:' part. Then copy the rest (the par parts) into your FotN.par
file.
