Re: [Fractdev] Requst info on FRACTINT Variables for 8 bit to True colour conversion

I notice that the existing code assumes that color (+dstack and others) are all BYTE. For true colour to have any use, I need to pass a minimum of 16 bits around (32K maxiter) and this is a substantial change to FRACTINT code.

My opinion is that you should not try to simultaneously port Fractint to Win32 and also add truecolor support. I suggest you first port to Win32. If we had a Win32 version of Fractint with good performance and everything working, then we could REALLY start making changes and improvements, because we wouldn't need the DOS version any more. Then adding truecolor could be done more gracefully. Of course you are free to disagree! Tim
