The FractoMedical Doctor has come out from the emergency room to tell Dr. E, the wife of our favorite Mad Scientist of FractoSpace, about Dr. J's condition. Somehow the Doctor looked overpowering and intimidating in his green smock. She had no idea what that apparatus on his head was for. And what was he saying? Something about Dr. J being aniterative, something about iteration arrest. She had not seen any FractoCops, so what is this about arrest? The more she listened, the less she understood. She tried lip reading. It was no use. That was just to distracting. Will Dr. E ever figure out what the Doctor is saying?

Figure 1. Iteration Arrest.
Don't tune out, even if Dr. E has, because it's not over until the credits
roll.

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.
