Paul,
Around page 124, under "5.5 Startup Parameters", where it states:
COMMENT=[comment1]/[comment2]/[comment3]/[comment4] Inserts comments into PAR files. These comments can include variables that are expanded at the time the PAR file is created. Variables are indicated by $varname$. Underscore characters are expanded to blanks. Underscore characters are expanded to blanks. If you want to include the special characters '$', '_', or '\' in a comment, precede the character with '\'.
Should that not be a '/' for the special character that might need to be replaced, instead of a '\' ??
Using a back-slash is pretty standard to indicate a special character. And, it does work in Fractint. Xfractint ignores everything after the back-slash. The forward-slash is being used to indicate the start of the next comment line, so we can't use it to indicate a special character. I'll look into fixing Xfractint after this patch is released. Thanks for your comments. Jonathan
