Folks,
Fractint version 20.04 patch 10 is now available on the developer's web site:
or
What's new:
Fixed WinFract resetting palette when parameters are changed with the <X>, <Y>, <Z>, or <G> screens.
Fixed usage of shift and control keys in Xfractint.
Added sanity checks in Xfractint parser functions.
Fixed long standing bug in Xfractint that occurred when a PAR was invoked from the command line.
Increased the WinFract maximum image size to 4096x4096 pixels. Your mileage may vary depending upon how much memory Windows can allocate. But remember that above 2048x2048 passes=1 is forced.
Fixed bug in the cvtcentermagbf() routine that was introduced some time prior to version 19.6. This fixes the problem that was occurring when rotating ap math images by 90 degrees.
Fixed buffer overflow in Xfractint that occurred when changing directories.
Jonathan

For the DOS version, Fractint, no. I don't know of any way to make it run. I am still using XP and have no way to experiment. For the Windows version, Winfract??? Are you saying it doesn't work, or have you not yet tried it? Jonathan

None of the versions of WinFract will run under Windows Vista or Windows 7. And trying many of the variations for setting Compatibility have no effect.
Maryetta,

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't have access to either of those operating systems, so can't provide any insight. The problem may be that WinFract is still a 16-bit program compiled with an 18-year old compiler. Yikes!!! Jonathan

"Yikes" indeed!!! But the latest WinFract version is working fine under Windows 98SE and Windows XP (and there are still many XP users out there). :-) Might consider updating the main web page at fractint.net and .org so that it reflects the latest update, instead of the previous one.

Paul,

Thanks! I'll have to let Tim take care of that. I don't have the permissions to change the file. Jonathan

WIll do, and I'll try to fix the permissions too. Also, for what it's worth, I have Windows 7 64 bit on one machine, I'll have a look at that too. Tim

That looks like your old Beta version from February 2007. It still has many problems in the way it works, for what is working. Which level of FractInt was this based upon, version 20.4.06 or was it earlier? Will there be any further development, and/or implementation of the current FractInt modifications since it was originally released?
