SDL report

Downloaded the missing dll - works and possible to create some MFR files from par. Other ones (MFR14-2) start and stop immediately or generate cryptic error messages. Only part of the PAR files are shown. Most of them just are not there. A MFR_10 image was created and all data were there after loading - SUPERB! I never have exspected that so it seems only some minor problems are left. The saved images dont show in the Fractint direcory but are there after the "r" command. Will do some more testing tomorrow. A big Thank you !!! Albrecht

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Fractint] Dosboc SVN Daum Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 21:32:34 +0100 From: Albrecht Niekamp <Multifrac(a)t-online.de> To: Timothy Wegner <tim(a)tswegner.net>, osuchj(a)mediacombb.net Thanks, Tim. I have the same version of DosBox. The problem very likely is that Microsoft stopped 16bit support on all 64 Systems. Suppose you have 32bit ? Can you run MFR14-2 ? To test that I need Dosbox, there are hardly any DOS Users left and Richard apparently stopped working on his Fractint version. It would be great if Jonathan could give it a try or give me some tips, the SDL version does not work for me, possibly also due to 64bit (missing a dll). After all I´m the only one creating new images from scratch since a long time. All mailed pars are transscribed from other systems Albrecht On 25.01.2018 18:23, Timothy Wegner wrote: > I have SVN Daum working fine under Windows 10. > > The *.conf file has a different name for the Daum version than for the > regular DOSBox.

Missing DLL
by John Wilson 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

I thought I might install a clean Fractint SDL version in my WIN 7 64-bit laptop. When I tried to run the download I got the same error message as Albrecht Niekamp--- libgc_s_dw2-1.dll was not found. So where can I find this little devil, and in which folder will it reside peacefully?

Dosboc SVN Daum
by Albrecht Niekamp 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

Hi, trying to use the Dosbox SVN Daum to use as an alternative for Oracle VirtualXP on Win10 64bit. But get an error message on startup Missing Fractint.cfg - it´s there inside and outside the fractint folder and works on xp 2. fractintF finds no gif and parfiles "nofiles" errors, manual input is not recognized. SStools is there with or withount "c:\:" inside or outside the fractint folder. An earlier version of dosbox worked without problems on win7 - compatability mode does not help. If you have Win10 please mail the config file directly to me. Thank you !! Albrecht

Hi, as it is a live site I did a little bit of reorganizing, the links remain valid. The OneDrive "NEW" folder now also contains the 2018 images where they belong. In the "Visual" folder there is a new item: "Start Kit". This is a splendid tool for evryone who wants to modify an existing image or start a completely new one. I haven´t given up hope as yet and this makes it a lot easier. It contains par files of all formulas, including variations, usiing that frm as a basic image alone, so the other frms - outside, inside 1, inside 2, inside 3 can easily be added. Even the default variables can be used. Included iin the par is also the latest MFR version; mfr14-2 , "Manowar2 update" dated Apr,01, 2015. AND the input table as JPG, OpenOffice file and PDF that also contains a quick referrence where any variable can be located by name. A bit tricky to use, questions welcome. ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFGgZ0htOy8PqrwOqvIjA ; Albrecht
