Lee,
I tried his pars with DOS Fractint, and DID see the problem. The middle (783.0000) par's magnification does get changed - you can see it on the tab screen. I thought it may be related to math tolerance, but adding math tolerance to the par didn't help.
See my response on the Fractint List. When I first tried this, it didn't work for me either. The mathtolerance parameter has to be added to the original PARs, since once they are read into Fractint, they are messed up. I think what is happening is that Fractint is converting the coordinates to ap math because of the nearness to the fp math limit. Then, swapping back to fp math introduces an error. I'll have to look at this closely. Jonathan
