Tim,
Did you know that the Xfractint Make file does not have any compiler
optimizations set? Setting -O2 works wonders. The down side is that it
breaks the assembler mandelbrot code. I'll have to look into that.
We also don't set any CPU specific optimizations. This is probably a good
thing, but it would also increase the execution speed. Duh!
I've decided to start seriously working on dumping my Windows environments.
I'm presently looking into dosemu. Although, if I can't get that to work
correctly, I'll set up a boot to DOS instead of to the GUI so I can still
work with Fractint. The major problem I have is that I'll need to purchase
a new external DSL modem (a Cisco 673 or 678?). I have an internal PCI DSL
modem at present, which isn't supported by Linux.
