After what Dr. E had been through with Dr. J's crazy search for his roots and the origins of fractals, it is not surprising that she fell sound asleep as Dr. J drove home from the hospital. It is also not a surprise that she had a disturbing nightmare during that nap. Just as they drove into the drive way, she awoke with a start.
"Oh, how awful!" she exclaimed. "I just saw that roach again, only much uglier than before."

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.
