Paul,
You will find bignum_seg defined in biginit.c. The assembly of bignum.asm shouldn't be a problem, but it does need to be linked to C code that initializes everything. The memory model of the assembly code is not correct for what you are trying to do. I'm not sure what it needs to be in order to work in a Windows environment.
I'm still trying to track down the problem with passes=orbits. It doesn't work for Fractint or WinFract, unless running a PAR. It works fine in Xfractint.

Hi Jonathan,
Sorry to pester you, but you seem to know what you are talking about. I
downloaded MASM32 and when I tried to assemble BIGNUMA.ASM, I got a large
number of errors because the assembler couldn't find bignum_seg. Somehow I
still think this is using the old 16 bit memory model. I have played with
various options in BIG.INC and still haven't made any progress. I suspect
that if we can crack a few simple ideas up front, we can create a fast 32
bit bignum library to link into all our windoze code.
Any further tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

This appears to always have been broken in WINFract. I'll have a look at
it.

Shouldn't be needed. Look in big.inc and comment out BIG16. Since I have
never tried this, I don't know if breaks anything.

G'day Friends,
I've just launched ManpWIN 3.01n.
Some of the latest additions:
1. Direct animations to GIF files and MPEG files. Record so far is 100,000 frame MPEG.
2. Run the parser from within the program without needing to use files. This allows very fast development time.
3. Addition of a large number of interesting Flarium fractals that weren't already included in the Tierazon list.
I have included the latest sources at: http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/MapnWINSrc.zip
The current executable is: http://www.deleeuw.com.au/download/SetupManpWIN.exe
I've been trying to get orbits to work in the latest versions of WINFract and get a floating-point error when I try to use "Orbits" on the Basic Options dialogue box.
Does anyone have any ideas how to prevent this in the executable?
Has anyone created a Bignum library for Windows 32 bit using assembler? My Bignum c code is too slow and I only have the sources for 16 bit assembler. I have no idea how to convert it to 32 bit.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.
