Tim, This was on the Fractint bug list:
Another thing : It's not possible to finish an image that was started on xfractint with (MS)DOS FRACTINT ( and vice versa ), because the fractint002-extensions are different for those 2 ports.
In my version, I've taken out any Xfractint specific code for the resume logic because the macros that handle a variable number of parameters have been updated. However, because of how we are saving the data, I haven't been able to figure out how to make the saved extentions the same size. We use the sizeof() function to determine how many bytes to put in the resume memory and by the time we get to the GIF routines, we have no idea what the size of the different variable are. We would need to make the conversion in the resume routines instead of in the GIF handling routines. Very ugly, and I don't want to do it. Does anybody see a way to get past this, and how many people really need this to work? BTW, there is some documentation at the bottom of the resume routines in fracsubr.c that appears to belong elsewhere. Do you have any idea where? Jonathan
