Hi Richard,
./xfractint @test1.par/VsionOfaDistantSea
I found how to get this to work without dumping. It is looking for the formula file where Jim specified his local file. In the DOS verison this does not cause a problem. But in xfractint it needed to be commented out. VsionOfaDistantSea { ; time=0:03:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula ; formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot5 center-mag=+0.015260972\ ... After running this command for several hours it only produces the top left portion of the image. Doing several runs, it never gets past this point. I uploaded the image so it can be seen. This same command works to produce 4800x3600 when generating Poachers_Afoot which generated in 36 seconds. ./xfractint -disk -geometry 4800x3600 batch=yes savename=work/test.gif "@test1.par/VsionOfaDistantSea" http://www.interocitors.com/tmp/test.gif My sstools.ini is below which might help [xfractint] inside=0 map=maps/default.map ifsfile=ifs/fractint.ifs parmfile=pars/fractint.par lfile=lsystem/fractint.l formulafile=formulas/fractint.frm autokeyname=key/auto.key ;filename=./work savename=./work printfile=./work workdir=./work tempdir=./work savetime=60 ;video=f3 exitnoask=yes float=yes ;fpu=387 ;curdir=yes ;printer=pa orgfrmdir=./ORGFORM Roger
