Apparently Fractint supported your multi-fractal project for the last 12 years. I am not exactly sure why suddenly your project must stop because of some unintended consequences of Jonathan's last patch, his first in something like four years. The reason is that in the past I could be sure that all improvements were "safe" and allowed going on in the development. That has changed and there is no room for improvements anymore, even if I replace outdated code. This happened when all commands dealing with function conflicts could be deleted with the new version and replaced by the commands to replace default functions - consuming less buffer space. Nevertheless I now must face the lack of memory crashes, apparently already with simple generation - in Jack´s case. ; Believe me i put the same efforts into optimizing the code as Jonathan, otherwise the project had ended long ago. David: "Your work reminds me of just how awesome a piece of programming Fractint is. The people ages back who were astounded at a 640x80x256 image would look at yours and be completely dumbfounded." This "balancing" on the edge is what makes fractint so special, leaving much space for personal creativity and finally is the reason that the project probably is unique worldwide. ; On my "to do" list is just one more item: The "Warp" effect needs better adaption to the participating formulas, sometimes the only effect is the color compression.Just a few lines will be enough.
