Harold asked:

>> Are you aware of the fact that many of these kinds of issues in Fractint's code have already been taken care by Richard in a code base he's made freely available?

Yes I'm very aware 😅. Rich did an amazing job. However Jonathan and I were committed to keeping the code base compatible with the DOS and Xfractint versions, so we didn't see a way to take advantage of Rich's fine work. This (understandably) frustrated Rich quite a bit.

In any case, Rich's code is available, and Paul can use it if he wishes. Everyone in this effort from the beginning was always empowered to participate as they wished. That is still true.
