Has anyone been able to run the fractal generating program Fractint
in the background of enhaced mode?  I've tried all the pif file combinations
I could think of, but when ever I try to generate them in the background
I get a message telling me I cant do it in the background.

I have 386 33mhz, vga 640x480x16, and am using the fractint mode "f4".

Can someone tell me the pif settings that can make this work?
Is it even possible to run high graphics routines
like this in the background of windows?

thanks in advance.
