I've done a bunch of diffs between the xfractint-20.2.04 source and the regular DOS 20.2.4 source. The following files are exactly the same: ...

Yes, it *IS* the float only source, I should have mentioned that. It was the most up to date version of the source I could find and was closest to the xfractint source. (I started off diffing fractint 20.0.(0?) against Xfractint 20.2.04 and it was just too much to deal with so..) I've only spent about an hour doing that this morning just before I sent that message. I figgured that the diffs might have been from the float-only code, but I wasn't sure how much that differed from the DOS code. Once I get ahold of the DOS 20.2.04 source I can find out easilly enough. (Is that available anywhere? I've only been able to find the incremental patches under http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/diffs/)
If you want to do that, we should start with a synched source. That will ensure you aren't fixing things that aren't broke. Or, at least have a reason for being broke.
Yes, exactly.
