Hi Guys,

I have been experimenting with converting all the Tierazon fractals to bignum. The only one I struggled with uses sqrt_bf(). I notice that this isn’t used anywhere in fractint, so I’m not sure if anyone has played with it.

My fractal works okay if I use:

    ln_bf();

    half_bf();

    exp_bf();

but it is slower.

I wrote a simple test program to check sqrt_bf() and it seemed to work okay for low precision numbers.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul.
