Rich asked:
OK, that came out pretty cleanly, but we're left with the old _MP fractal types. Should these be converted to the integer or floating-point types when a GIF file is loaded with this type?
My suggestion would be conversion right after reading the GIF to the corresponding floating point fractal type. I did this already in the float-only version (which Jonathan and I decided when we met in Iowa not to maintain), but it wouldn't be too hard to figure out an equivalent scheme. One can leave dummy elements in the fractalspecific array for deleted types or make a lookup table of indices that maps deleted types to an existing type. This is assuming that you haven't yet refactored the fractalspecific array. Needs to be done sometime, but probably later. Tim
