Patch 6
by Jonathan Osuch 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

Tim, I'm going to try to wrap up patch 6 this week. So far, this is what I have: Fixed FPUcplxdiv and FPUcplxlog routines in fpu087.c to match assembler code. Fixed it so spaces are recognized in PAR entry names. Fixed evolver parameter entry. Fixed hypercomplex fractal type to turn off symmetry when a cj parameter is used. Fixed the plasma type to show the value of the parameter that is actually used in the image generation. Fixed the plasma type so that a parameter file uses the included colors instead of the default colors. Revised the plasma type prompt to reflect the values that could actually be used. Fixed inside=atan and outside=atan to use the full color palette instead of limiting to 180 colors. Modified the resume code to remove the Xfractint specific sections since they are no longer needed. I still need to move all this over to DOS and make sure nothing is broken. There are other fixes I would like to include, but haven't done them yet. Jonathan

CVS, again
by Jonathan Osuch 08 Mar '04

Tim, I've got a CVS repository set up on a Syquest disk. I'm in the process of modifying the source such that Fractint and Xfractint can reside in the same repository. I should probably put together a patch, but I found out today that my last day here at Clinton will be March 19th. Subject to change, of course. But, that means I need to move a bunch of stuff back to Iowa and also find a job. This was supposed to happen in the middle of July, so I wasn't totally unprepared for this. A patch isn't out of the question, I'm just a bit stressed. Jonathan

Xfractint and reading subdirectories
by Jonathan Osuch 03 Mar '04

Tim, Has Xfractint always had a problem with reading subdirectories, or is this a recent occurrance? For example, if you want to change PAR or FRM files, no subdirectories are displayed. Jonathan
