I understand the original intended use of the variable, but with Jim Muth including it on a regular basis with his FOTD it looks like we should incorporate it into the fractal_info and history_info structures.
OK. The original rationale was to try to not put implementation- specific data in the GIF, but what the heck, the fractal artists use whatever you give them :-)
To do this will require increasing the size of the fractal_info structure, which then gets saved to GIF's. Do you recall if this will cause problems with older versions of Fractint reading these GIF's?
I believe the logic is to seek back to the beginning of fractal_info, so it should be all right, but the proof will be in the pudding. Might take this opportunity to ask if anything else needs saving. Tim
