>I have yet to make it do anything sensible if the initialization is interrupted. A couple of ideas re that: - What does the DOS Fractint do in that situation? - Could that section be made non-interruptible? - Would it be reasonable to have the initialization started again from its beginning. (I've no idea if this is practical.) > There are still some screen issues with switching disk video modes Is this referring to the smaller screen sizes/video modes showing the text almost too small to read? If so, perhaps you could: - save the current screen mode, - temporarily switch to a standard screen size to display text, then - restore the current screen mode from the saved screen mode when <esc> or <Enter> is typed. I'm pretty sure that both DOS Fractint and Richard's Iterated Dynamics (formerly Fractint for Windows beta 5) does something like that.

This is base on the file access routines (gcc) using a signed long variable to determine the location in a file. The maximum size of a signed long value is 2,147,483,647, and the square root of that is just over 46340. There are still some screen issues with switching disk video modes (especially large ones), and I have yet to make it do anything sensible if the initialization is interrupted.
