David,
Just wondering. Haven't seen anything since 12/26/2017. Still alive and progressing?
Yes, but slowly. Still working with the Linux version (64-bit). I have the fast mandelbrot code working, but if you have it as the default fractal when you start Fractint, it crashes. It will also crash with key strokes (but not consistently). I have also been working on the fast formula parser, but it currently crashes before an image gets generated. There are several problems that I don't yet have a handle on. The syntax between MASM (old) and NASM (new) is different enough (and similar enough to be confusing) that it isn't always obvious how to change the code. NASM doesn't always seem to function as I would expect. The interface between the 64-bit C code and the 64-bit assembly is not defined as well as it could be in the NASM documentation. Once I get all that straightened out, the Windows code (32-bit) will be a whole new learning experience. Some due to idiosyncrasies mandated by MS. Others due to different variable sizes and pointer sizes. Jonathan
