It depends on the email reader that you may be copy the formula from. Because in Thunderbird, it changes exponential numbers into superscripts. For example: z=b*(z^2*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c You may or may not see the "^" (carat symbol) between the "z" and "2".

No, I see the carats. Code looks ok. Too bad - this looked like it could be a cool animation ... On 2010-01-24 19:01, Ken Childress wrote:

Are you using the current version of FractInt? (Not sure if that might be the cause.) Where did you copy the .PAR and .FRM data from? Was it from Jim's email posting or off the web page? (I have not checked to see if there is a difference in values.)

I believe Paul's suggestion might be the key (I'm a long-time user of Thunderbird and noticed the problem in the past too). There is a line of code: z=b*(z^2*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c and copying it from Thunderbird you get: z=b*(z2*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c rendering the image from this variant seems to fit Jack's description. Jack, although you see the carat there: z^(a) you might be missing the one that actually gets stripped: z2 should read... z^2 Replacing z^2 with z*z should be client-neutral and seems to generate the same result (I didn't compare the final images yet). Maybe a unified list of formulae packed as a small file sent once in a while or downloadable from a webpage would solve the problem? Ted
doesnt matter. z*z still gives blank screne :( On 2010-01-24 20:42, studiot@post.pl wrote:

Please disregard, as the z*z calculates much longer than the z^2
Sorry, Ted
I copied and pasted into a blank PAR file, both from the emaila and the web page. Same result. I suspect a syntax error, maybe a single character is missing or something. I will try to hunt it down. This has happened before, and it sucks. On 2010-01-25 01:34, Lee H. Skinner wrote:

Is it possible that you have two versions of that formula, maybe in different formula files, and the program is not using the one you think it is?

Never mind - I got it now. It was a copy/paste error. Now see if I can get a good animation in time for Feb 14th! On 2010-01-25 03:20, Jack Of TraDeZ wrote:

Spare a thought for those with severe visual impairment. I have to use zoom software to magnify your messages four times before I can read them. Don't want to whinge, but ... Jack Of TraDeZ wrote:

Though the most reliable Thunderbird is now at version 2.0.0.23 (Windows/20090812), I believe even one as old as yours has the option of increasing the FONT size to make it easier to read. From the menu, it should be under TOOLS => OPTIONS... then in the DISPLAY section on the FORMATTING tab. I would avoid upgrading to the new 3.0 version of Thunderbird. It takes up more space with all of the extra menu areas that cannot be made to go away. And worst of all, when it converts your existing email to the new format, you will lose a big portion of disk space because of all the extra indexing involved. I have so much email stored up that the conversion actually stopped running before it ever finished.
