JN>I'm in the process of producing high quality fractal prints/posters using

For the current versions of Fractint (and Winfract), it would be a massive
job.  Lots of equivalenced arrays all squashed together into a single
64K segment space.

Xfract (and possibly the OS/2 2.x-specific version of PMfract) might well
be a different story.
