I've run across what appears to be two problems with the ver 20.99.8 Fractint for Windows, one known, one perhaps new: - Calculating Jim Muth's FoTD for 8/4/8 gives a black screen using the "Run saved command set" command. - Completion of the image at 640x480 is essentially instantaneous per the <tab> command, instead of the 7 1/2 minutes described by Jim. - After calculating the FoTD for 8/4/8 and: - Choosing fractal "Type" "mandel" and - Accepting the default parms - An incorrect default Mandelbrot image is drawn. - The problem appears to be that the "Outside" parm on the "X" screen is left as "fmod" from the previous calculation of the FoTD using the "Run saved command set" command. - Changing "Outside" to "iter" draws the correct default Mandelbrot image. The first problem appears to be of the following type: Author: Richard Date: 2008-02-18 09:11 -500 Subject: Re: [Fractdev] <Richard> Lex & yacc for formula parser?

The second problem may be a newly uncovered problem. Calculating the FoTD for 8/4/8 with DOS Fractint ver 20.04.4 gives the correct image. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane@earthlink.net # #########################
