I may have spoken too soon as well.. the inflate methood uses a 32K history buffer (the current LZW code in Fractint is only needs a 4K buffer) So this is going to use more memory than I thought at first, I need to take a closer look at what is actually taking up memory where to make sure there is enough.
You know what, I am arriving at the view that PNG is a complete non- issue. We could go ahead and implment PNG for Xfractint, and simply write a GIF/PNG converter for DOS using djgpp. As I told Rich, we need a temporary kludge to save the data, and give ourselves time to do a good job on the eventual data saving method using fRAc. Having said all this, I still don't think PNG is the highest priority. Tim
