Florian's wish list sounds very appealing, and also fairly familiar -
Yes, it has been discussed in the context of fractint many, many, many, many times before. It seems that every few months someone proposes this grand re-organization of the fractint source code. It sounds great until they actually get into the code and then the sheer size of the task generally has them leaving without further comment. I'm not saying that Florian couldn't do what he proposes, but the number of previous victims laying dead along that path should serve as fair warning to anyone else proposing the journey. I travelled farther down the path than most, and still it seems people want to re-do what I did instead of build on it. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>
