Paul, this is a FAQ entry. It's right here.




Yes, but nowhere can I find a description of the format of the files. I must be dense. Are they just Windows bitmaps, raw 24-bit RGB, raw 6-bit RGB, four-colour grey-scale, or what? I can't seem to find a tool that will take an ordinary bitmap and produce either a raw file or upload it.

I would like to write one if I can - I know how to do RLE compression as long as I know what escape sequence you use (if any). Just give me information about file formats. I might even be able to make it do the upload as well given time...

By the way, what program did you use to create that fractal?




Fractal eXtreme. The wonder tool of Mandelbrot exploration. It revolutionised my life (I'm not kidding )

Have fun,

Paul
