I have to admit I'm not really sure what you mean (what does Microsoft have to do with anything?).
Most of the time, I don't care.
I thought Gnofract 4D's existence might be of interest to some XFractint users, for the reasons in my original mail. I think an XFractint/Gnofract4D merge (if that's what you're suggesting) would be very difficult since the code-bases are basically unrelated.
Are you writing in FORTRAN? I mean that both programs are free, and that both have ruthlessly stolen _some_ of their methods from paper publications. The copyright on FracTint, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, is mostly for authenticity, although some people are in it for the notoriety of being in the credits. So, basically, I would GUESS that you're more wary of the politics and accounting for credits than the practicality of improving XFractint with subroutines from Gnofract4D with the help of CVS (Cooperative Virtual Supervisor?...I don't know what that stands for) and Jason Osuch and then calling them identical. Vice-Versa might be better. I don't know. (Right now, I'm more interested in how I can import my cwbaudi3.ini from Windows to Linux. (It's full of detailed configuration for the mixer on my crystal codec sound card). It beats me what the protocol for that would be, because there are actually four lead programmers listed. _______ Give me a hay yoh if you're ever in Edmonton, ay? +780 472-7827 We are borg.
