Hello,

It is in here:
http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/windows/winfract-20.04p08.zip

A warning, though.

Jonathan Osuch has brought it mostly up-to-date to the DOS version functionally,
but not the Windows GUI (example: type "formula" shows at most three complex input
parameters, although the DOS interface allows a maximum of five).

Most of the DOS-style interface screens are there, however (just look in the Help
under "Fractint-Style Help and Prompts" for info how to access them).

The idea was to be able to run Fractint even when graphics card and/or OS refused
to play along with the DOS version, but not to have the hassle of updating the
Windows specifics ("behind the scenes" Winfract is still a very "DOSish" software).

Regards,
Gerald
