Take a look at the decode_fractal_info() routine in the general.c file used by xfractint.
Yeah, I saw that and meant to look at it but I didn't yet. I looked at it just now and it seems to go through great contortions to read floats and doubles -- but aren't they just IEEE floats and doubles? On any architecture that supports IEEE you can just use fread, or am I missing something? This binary IO business might be an argument for making the fractal info in PNG just a par/XML text string. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
