Rich asked:
Is the WinFract code from the fractint module supposed to compile anymore? :-)
Winfract is compiled with a 16 bit compiler, in fact the same one that we use for the DOS fractint. Winfract has the same segmented medium memory model as the DOS version. That's why the code is mostly compatible. For a long time Winfract was frozen the way Bert Tyler left it, but not too long ago Jonathan began work to bring it up to date. He mostly suceeded, but there are still some things broken. There is no hope of compiling Winfract with a modern 32 bit compiler. You might compile it with the same old compiler you used for DOS. Tim
