But I have run into some problems. Starting with the par file 640test.par, I ran 2 tests at 640x480, passes=g1.

These generated the 2 images testb1.gif and testm1.gif, which have slightly but quite noticeable wrong center-mag co-ordinates.

I also generated the same 2 pars in DOS Fractint (images DOSTSTB1.GIF and DOSTSTM1.GIF) which are generated with the correct co-ordinates.

Then I generated the file New.par in Fractint for Windows by using the <b> command for all 4 images. Note the new center-mag co-ordinated for the DOS images which include #INF and #IO.

Finally I generated the file NEWDOS.par in DOS Fractint by using the <b> command for all 4 images. Note the new center-mag co-ordinated for the Windows images which include #QNAN and #IND. Also DOS isn't able to access the calculation time for the Windows generated images.

I think I have this fixed -- it was all due to the structure alignment of the fractal information stored in the GIF file. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
