Tim,
I now have a system with enough hard disk space where I should be > able to compile WinFract. Downloaded the VC++ toolkit and the Win 2003 SDK. It (version 18.2) won't compile right out of the box. Hmmm. Could be a 32-bit vs 16-bit compiler problem.
Sure is. Winfract is a 16 bit windows medium memory model application. This is why Bert was able to share so much fractint code. You'd probably have to compile it with the same compiler we use for DOS. It's been a long time since Microsoft dropped medium model support from their compiler.
Although I have the old compiler, I don't have a 16-bit SDK. Not having had any interest in it at the time it was available. What I would like to do is compile WinFract, then drop the latest source in. The menus will need to be fixed, but that should be relatively easy once I'm able to compile successfully. Once that is done, we can merge it with the CVS sources. Jonathan
