Been driving myself crazy trying to get your stuff to run in the SDL version of Fractint.

I need to get the fast parser running.  It is in assembly language and I thought I would start with something simple like the Mandelbrot set assembly code.  Turns out it isn't so simple.  I haven't figured out the calling convention for calling a C function from the assembly code.  I have it working under Linux in a 64-bit environment, but it crashes whenever the video mode is changed (like on startup).  I took a brief look at it under Windows (a 32-bit environment) but it won't assemble and/or doesn't create the correct type of object file to link with. Now that I have a small amount of experience with the current environments and using assembly language, I will try the parser assembly code.  It doesn't make any calls to C routines. As a historical note, I had the fast parser assembly code assembling and running with Xfractint but it wouldn't display an image.  I never tracked down what the problem was.  So, I actually have a reasonable starting point (other than the change from 32-bit to 64-bit).
