Basically, this file format is still the same one that Terry uses for all of his programs, which is based on the one from the ZPLOT program.  I can change the file extension from .FIM to something like .QSZ, and then open it within QuaSZ.  Or I could change it to one of the other file extensions that Terry uses on his programs so I can open this parameter file in those other programs as well.

If you open the .FIM file using Notepad or Wordpad, you can then see what I am talking about.

It has no "power" that makes it special.  All it is doing is the same thing that all of the previous programs that Terry has written has been doing for years.  The code/logic that saves the parameter files is virtually identical to the other programs.  Nothing powerful or special at all is happening.

The saving of parameter information by a fractal rendering application is by no means new.  This is the way it has been done by over 90 percent of all fractal rendering applications.
