Mark, I have to politely disagree with your statement that discussions of the Apo beta don't belong on this forum... what IS Apophysis if not a program for the creation of FRACTALS, which is quite obviously the focus of this forum. Yes, beta does mean "unfinished" but the Apo beta is not some huge secret project, and is availble to anyone who does join the Apo mailing list, of which I am a member. You may have noticed in my post that I said I DID "bother" to join the list and I do read the posts, but feel a bit overwhelmed by the terminology and technology discussed there.

Would it be a correct assumption to say that by this comment consider this thread unwelcome in this forum? I feel that if it were off-topic or out of line the moderator would have shut it down immediately. Since it is a specific discussion of a fractal generating program, how could it be unwelcome in a fractal forum?

Forgive my ignorance if requests for assistance are unwelcome or unacceptable here, but I was under the impression that this was the chief purpose of this type of forum.
