Fractint for windows works once and leaves stale processes around.
There was a time when it would start reliably. I do not know what changed. Oh...maybe I do. I changed the sstools.ini file for running it with my parameter files. Maybe it would be better if I adapted parameter files to run with default sstools.ini file settings, anyway; formulafile="..\pars\prand.par" I managed to discover that I am using patchlevel eight. I think that's beta five. I am not sure why versions and dates are not identical. There could be initials for the sourceror.

Without knowing specifically what you did to change the behavior, its hard to know what to do about it. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>

I think your priority regards a four to three magnification of the x-axis. I won't use F4W until that bug is fixed. IOW, I deleted it. Even DOS fractint won't work with: comment=///$calctime$/megapixel on a 3.2GhzP4 in sstools.ini, and at least it complains. I think you would be wasting time on a compiler, too. If someone's formula is so long that it exceed's fractint's power, then I think it should be compiled to save time. There are plenty of examples in C.
