            -=> Fractint to POV-Ray v0.5 <=-

            -=> Installation instructions <=-

     These installation instructions assume that you have 
already created a directory for Fractint to POV-Ray and 
unzipped or copied files to that directory. 'FRCT2POV' is 
suggested.

     To install the Fractint to POV-Ray package is easy. 
There are files that need to be moved to different 
locations. Some files need to be moved to the directory that 
you keep your POV-Ray source files and some need to be moved 
to your Fractint directory. There are some Windows icons 
that can remain in the Fractint to POV-Ray directory or can 
be moved to a sub-directory or a windows directory.

     The following is a list of file extensions and their 
associated directories.

*.par  -=>  Fractint directory
*.map  -=>  Fractint directory

*.pov  -=>  POV-Ray source files directory
*.inc  -=>  POV-Ray source files directory

*.gif  -=>  POV-Ray source or other dir in POV's path.

*.ico  -=>  Windows or FRCT2POV sub directory ( optional )

All other files can remain in the FRCT2POV directory.

If desired, you could move documentation files to a sub-
directory to avoid a cluttered FRCT2POV directory.

The following lines should be modified in the file 
'FRCT2POV.INI':

fp=C:\FRACTINT   { or whatever your path is }
pp=C:\POVRAY\POVFILES   { or whatever your path is }

Windows '.pif' file installation:

     The easiest way to install Fractint to POV-Ray in 
windows is to run the windows file manager and 'drag' the 
file 'FRCT2POV.PIF' into the desired program group. Then 
with the FRCT2POV 'DOS' icon selected select 'Properties' 
from the program manager's 'File' menu. Then select the 
'Change icon' option and then select 'Browse'. You can then 
navigate to the location where the Fractint to POV-Ray icon 
resides and select it. If desired you could change the 
window title option to 'Fractint to POV-Ray'. The working 
directory should be the same as the 'FRCT2POV.PIF' 
directory.

File moving procedures:

	These procedures assume that you have Fractint and POV-
Ray installed with a directory for your POV-Ray source 
files.

the following DOS commands can be used.

CD C:\POVRAY\FRCT2POV    { your path to this program }

COPY *.PAR C:\FRACTINT   { your path to fractint }
DEL *.PAR
COPY *.MAP C:\FRACTINT
DEL *.MAP
COPY *.POV C:\POVRAY\POVFILES   { your path to POV files }
DEL *.POV
COPY *.INC C:\POVRAY\POVFILES
DEL *.INC
COPY *.GIF C:\POVRAY\POVFILES
DEL *.GIF

( optional )
COPY *.ICO C:\WINDOWS     { your path to windows }

( if you have MS-DOS 6.0 or later you can use the MOVE 
command instead of copy and ignore the DEL commands )
