It will probably crash. Disk video only. The saved image isn't right. It has some keyboard funkiness (in particular, Ctrl/Shift modifiers seem to be horked). However, its far enough along to give you an idea where things are going if you're curious and don't have CVS access or anything. <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fractdev/FractIntSetup-21.00.alpha0.msi> Don't consider this any kind of real "release"; think of it more as a "quasi-stable build". The setup package should be fully functional, so if you're eager to do some testing, check the following: - All dialogs have the fractint banner on them - Installed shortcuts work - Add/Remove Programs entry has reasonable information and works properly - Appropriate files are installed - Maps/Pars/Frms/etc. can be loaded from the installed app. You can send bug reports to me directly or to the list. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
Richard, I just played with it briefly. Congratulations! Just a few comments:
It will probably crash.
Well, when I tried to close it with the close button in the upper right corner, the window cleared but it didn't go away.
The saved image isn't right.
True. All black. Small detail! :-) In the credits screen, the spacebar didn't toggle the scrolling on/off. I would like to see the installer give an option of creating a desktop icon. I can't resize the window. I guess it's not an important option for the text screens, anyway, but for scrolling, fractal types, it would be nice. Lee Skinner

Yeah, its not handling WM_CLOSE right yet.

Sometimes I get squiggles of color at the top, but usually it ends up being all black.

This works sometimes. It depends on how you get there :-). I think there's a point where the space key sits in the buffer and it keeps feeding it to itself over and over, so its really toggling the scrolling so fast you can't notice it :).

That might be possible; the installer is built with the deployment project support in VS.NET, which has limited options.

I'm afraid resizing and scrolling are a ways off yet. Its really still a DOS program in architecture :-). -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
