Fractint version 20.2 patch 5 diff and executables are now available on the developer's ftp site: www.fractint.org From the Whats new file ***** Patch 5 Made changes to allow Xfractint to find files that use upper case letters. Fixed a problem with the Cellular type that prevented entering an initial row of greater than 32767 from working. Added a message about not being able to resume after interrupting prior to rows being displayed on screen. Fixed an evolver bug which caused setting evolver parameters to turn evolving on, even though evolving was actually turned off. Added Charlie Chernohorsky's truecolor speed up and his implementation of virtual screen sizes for the VESA modes (dotmode=28). This feature does not work consistently between different video cards, so it may be turned off by using the startup command "virtual=n". Use the <V> screen to set the desired virtual screen size. See {View Window}. Please remember that if either X or Y is greater than 2048, solid guessing is turned off. This is for multiple reasons, so it is likely it will NOT get fixed soon. There is also a problem with the colorbars that appear when saving an image leaving bits of corruption on the screen. This occurs in all the VESA truecolor modes. Added Charlie to the scrolling list of contributors. Added Charlie's fix for the l-system type which occurred when a push-pop combination was on two different lines. Fixed the PAGE-UP/PAGE-DN zoombox in Xfractint so that it now appears on the screen. Fixed ranges= in Xfractint so GIFs save correctly and program doesn't end abruptly. ***** What is not mentioned are changes to the Xfractint X11 interface to improve reliability (I hope), man page update, and the Xfractint source now comes as a tar.gz file. All four sources have their own diff in the 2002p05.zip file. You will need to apply only one of them. See the readme.1st file in 2002p05.zip. I have not yet updated the experimental Allegro port source or made a diff for it. Jonathan

thanks a lot for the nice job you did for the fractinters !! Sorry to say that the left mouse click only works when a fractal is still running. When finished, there is no more reaction on the (left-) click.. no zoom possible.. (worked fine in versions 20.2.5, ok in 20.2.3 and 20.2.4) Cheers, Guy

Thanks, I'll have a look at it. Jonathan

I don't have any problems when not using virtual screen. With a virtual screen, the zoom box starts up off-screen. So, you have to keep shrinking it until it appears. If you are seeing something else, give me more details. Thanks. Jonathan

sorry, it should be: (worked fine in versions 20.2.3 and 20.2.4, but not in 20.2.5)

yes that's it. It's unusual, only in version 20.02.5 and only the left mouse button, the [pg up] key works fine, gives a zoombox on first attempt..
If you are seeing something else, give me more details. Thanks.
no other problems found, so far..
Jonathan
