FRACTERM/CARDZ MARINE CLOSES DOORS ---------------------------------- Cardz Marine Co. went out of business last month after stirring quite a bit of interest in their FRACTERM fractal graphics compression technology. FRACTERM allows the transmission of photo-realistic bit image graphics files online by dramatically compressing the file sizes - at some significant loss in image quality. Dwight Jones has retained the technology and formed a new company titled IMAGEN to develop and market the FRACTERM product. According to Jones, "We had to get out of the hardware business and we are now entirely focused on this technology. IMAGEN is the sole company involved and FRACTERM is one of its products."
