Readme.txt       FANI               1.3.94



General Discribtion

Fani is a Windows utiliti to animate farctals with Fractint (Ver.18).
It creates batch- and parameterfiles to make n gifs witch can 
be put together with programs like Dave_s TGA Animator (DTA) and
played whith a Fli-player like AAPLAY.


Installation

Create a directory and copy FANI into it.
Start WINDOWS from this diretory or just type FANIVB .
The batch- and parameterfiles will then be created automaticaly into the
diretory.
Go back to DOS.
FRACTINT must be in your path, so you can just type the name of the batchfile
(default is fani.bat,fani.par).

Causion: Because of different "," and "." syntax we, with our german 
grafic-table have to modifie with the DOS-EDITOR the "," into "." first 
(not nesassary with US grafic-table).


To make animations with this tool you have to be very common with
FRACTINT.
Dry first with the default-parameters of a julia.set animation.

You have 3 different types of animations:

1. Parameter animation (default)
2. Pointzoom to do deep zooms (put in the start mag, the end mag,the 
zoomfactor and switch the nP bottom. The number of pictures needed will be calculated.)
3. Linezoom which enables you to animate the path between to points.

If we some request we will make a share-ware-version (25$) of this
program with multi-piont pathes, distance-estimator animations, saving
parameters and so on.

If you have any questions please contact     NOSA
