I looked at the float only Xfractint:
(1) Do we want to include the calmanfx.o file? That way people without nasm could use the assembled mandelbrot code. At least, they could if they could figure out how to link it. Maybe not a good idea. BTW, do you have nasm?
I have nasm, and I agree it would be good to include the *.o, although you'd think anyone with Linux could just install the package. In the past when I first started the float-only version, I didn't include all the files. However, I see no reason not to make the float- only packages exactly parallel to the others. Will do.
(2) Including the Makefile would make life a whole lot easier.
Oops, I meant to include it. But amazingly, it looks like the regular Xfractint make file works fine.
(3) The read.me needs to be updated. Mandelcloud now works.
OK
(4) We need to include at least one .ifs, .l, .frm file, along with altern.map (for julibrot) and the frothxxx.map's.
I can include the same files in the regular Xfractint package for now. I'll look into setting up a betrter system.
(5) Not really related to the float only code, but plasma and cellular muck up the color palette. It would be nice if we could reset the palette afterwards.
I am working on synching up the current patch, so this would be a later patch. Tim
