WELCOME to the Fractint Development Team WWW pages
| Mirrors |
Tim Wegner maintains a mirror at http://twegner.dyndns.org/fractint/ (Thanks to Scott Boyd for having previously maintained a mirror.)
| What is Fractint? |
Fractint is a freeware fractal generator created for IBMPC's and compatible computers to run under DOS and ported to Linux. This page is for developers who wish to keep up with the latest source changes and users who would like to try the current developer's version. This page is under development by a one-finger typist entering html in a text editor, so it may not get much fancier than this for a while.
| The Fractint User Web Pages |
If you are a user looking for fractint help or the latest official version of fractint, you should head straight for the Fractint user site at triumf.spanky.ca. This web site is maintained by Noel Giffin at the TRIUMF project on the University of British Columbia Campus in Vancouver B.C. Canada. Thank's Noel!
Noel's spanky site is mirrored here: spanky.fractint.org (the main spanky site) with the fractint pages at spanky.fractint.org/www/fractint/fractint.html.
If you just want to download the latest officially-released DOS version, see spanky's getting fractint page .
The latest release is also available here at www.fractint.org: dos and linux.
| Latest Developer Version Source Patches and Executable |
The latest developer version files can be obtained in this directory. We have divided the packages into separate dos and linux subdirectories. These files include the current release version, current source, current developer patches, and the current Xfractint source.
If all you want is the executable package of the developer's version, download the file fradev.zip. Changes in the main dos version since the last official release are listed in whatsnew.txt.
You will find some experimental, pre-alpha code here . Currently this includes Jonathan Osuch's Linux/Allegro port. This is in source code form which requires a development environment as well as as a Red Hat RPM package.
If you are looking for some pre-built Linux binaries of Xfractint, try Scott Boyd's Xfractint page.
