I've already merged the float only version with Xfractint. It's at version 20.0 patch 11. There are some patches that will be difficult to incorporate, but bringing this source code up to the current version probably makes more sense than doing the work over again.
If you have a lot of versions of the float only version saved, including 20.0 patch 11, then making float-only diffs of the regular fractint float only version, and applying them to the float-only version of xfractint should be straight forward. If youi would like me to do this, let me know.
Allegro is now at (or above) version 4.0, which came out late last year. The last time I updated their source code, the process went better than it had in the past. I haven't tried version 4 yet, although it is on my hard drive.
Is the current Allegro Fractint the one on the web site? I'd like to try it.
At some point we might actually using CVS :-)
Something else to learn. Yes, that would be good. I'd like to play with it from Iowa, but haven't gotten to it.
When one is good at using diff and patch, it's hard to decide to use CVS. I'm in the same boat as you are. Tim
