I would think that any program written these days, or any that are being re-written, should take full advantage of multi-processors/multi-cores.
Processor affinity and taking advantage of multi-processors/multi-cores are two different things.
Yes, I know they are two separate issues. I was only expressing what I would like to see FractInt be able to do, if a lot of time is going to be spent in re-writing the code. And yes, the development would need to consider porting issues between platforms. But I think this should be part of the long-term plan for FractInt. Not only bringing it up past the old DOS executable, but being able to use multi-processors/cores. This is the way hardware and software is going these days.
