Tim,
If you run out of time send me what you have and I'll try to finish it.
It's more a problem of running into more problems. Take a look at the default mandel image in Fractint (use floating point math) when you set periodicity=-50. Then set debug=90, and calculate the image again (press <f> twice). I've currently got the Xfractint code approximating the same behaviour. It looks to me like the floating point assembly language code, which counts down from maxit instead of up from zero, is not coded quite correctly with respect to periodicity checking. Jonathan
