But what can be done about it now? If the bug were corrected, many of the older parameter files would not work. <<
Incredible timing - just as Jim's CD is about to be published! Many of us have hundreds of Mandelbrotmix4 images that we may want to zoom into someday. If this particular bug were fixed, the formula would have to be rewritten such that the images would be generated exactly the same. Then the parameter files would work. But how many formulas other than Mandelbrotmix4 would have to be rewritten? In this case, fixing it would probably create more problems than it solves! I'd just let it become a documented idiosyncrasy of Fractint (you won't find COSXX in trig books! or Tim'sError).
