Folks, Fixed creation of parameter entries (using <b>) that randomly failed. Fixed fractal type menu items that did not return to the currently selected fractal. Changed Arbitrary Precision Math C code to use 32/64 bit routines instead of 16/32 bit routines. Look in the directory: https://www.fractint.org/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-02-09.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2020-02-09.tar.xz Jonathan

As Edward Montague, I've deposited a few files, with a fractal content, to http://riotorto.users.sourceforge.net/Maxima/vtk/elevation_grid/index.html The structure of the program was chosen to emulate that of fractint, the definition of an iterated function and then the iteration loops for x and y values; with a particular, though not unique, escape criteria.

Ed, Tim, at the URL you [Ed] gave: https://mailman.xmission.com/accounts/ I get: "Page not found" "This page either doesn't exist, or it moved somewhere else." However, when I removed: "/accounts/" and hit <Enter> I was taken to this page: https://mailman.xmission.com/postorius/lists/ which included Fractint and Fracdev in its list of Mailing Lists. Clicking the Fractint link showed me this page: https://mailman.xmission.com/postorius/lists/fractint.mailman.xmission.com/ where I tried the "Log In" button. Clicking the "Log In" button took me to an actual Log In page: https://mailman.xmission.com/accounts/login/?next=/postorius/lists/fractint… (If the above long link is chopped into two non-working pieces, you may need to separately copy each piece and manually reassemble the two pieces into correct full URL in your browser address bar.) However, when I entered my *Fractint* Login ID & password, I got: "The e-mail address and/or password you specified are not correct." My FracDev login attempt also failed. I tried the "Forgot Password?" link on the *FracDev* login page: https://mailman.xmission.com/accounts/login/?next=/postorius/lists/fractdev… The "Forgot Password?" / "reset it" link they gave me was not "List-Specific": https://mailman.xmission.com/accounts/password/reset/ On the Password Reset page I entered my email address, clicked "Reset My Password" and got: "The e-mail address is not assigned to any user account", so, it appears that they currently don't have access to their User Accounts database. Anyone else have a similar experience? - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Edward Montague <sciwiseg(a)gmail.com> Sent: Friday, June 18, 2021 11:31 PM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint(a)mailman.xmission.com> Cc: tim(a)tswegner.net Subject: [Fractint] Re: Archives updating I'm having difficulty logging at https://mailman.xmission.com/accounts/ On Sat, Aug 17, 2019 at 10:02 AM Albrecht Niekamp <multifrac(a)t-online.de> wrote: > Thanks, Tim > for the good words.

The archive links for the fractint list are working, but the list archives appear not to be updating. I have asked support about this. While I don't think the low traffic is the problem, we might be advised to post a few more messages in case there's some threshold before newer messages get archived. Tim
