Hal asked if multiple dosboxes can be run under Windows. I believe the answer is yes... I briefly experimented and could bring up multiple dosbox instances... Thanks for checking on that, Tim.

...work would be needed with separate configurations and separate fractints. I see that now. Yikes!

So, perhaps multiple installs of Fractint in side-by-side directories. E.g.: /FrctintA/, /FrctintB/, /FrctintC/, /FrctintD/ , ... Then all of Fractint's file allocations and configuration files would be completely separate. I plan/hope to use modified versions of the Fractint-created batch file to feed the Fractint-generated parameter files to the separate instances of Fractint and assemble the calculated pieces of the image. I'll keep my original Fractint directory to calculate the faster images, and to create the multiple parameter and batch files for the simultaneously-running Fractints. If I can get it all working, it's not likely to be an especially clean or elegant solution -- but I've always been irritated at having all those idle CPU cores -- and idle RAM -- while running Fractint... But, I'm encouraged to experiment with this a bit. Thanks again for checking on the multiple dosboxes, Tim. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane@earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Fractint [mailto:fractint-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Timothy Wegner Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2017 11:52 AM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] Can u run multiple copies of DOSbox (each w Fractint) simultaneously in Win10?
