Earlier I had mentioned what I thought was unique behavior of
Fractint when run under DOSBox, specifically the shifting of pitch
in sound files when changing resolution. It turns out that that is
not unique to DOSBox. It works that way on my 486 W98 using ver.
20.03.1.
However, on my 386 W95, I have ver. 19.6. That was prior to the
<ctrl+F> sound parameter inclusion. There is no provision in
that version to use your sound card or control pitch...just x,y or z
and orbitdelay via the <x> screen. Also, the orbitsave=sound
command was not included. In that version. The changing of display
parameters in 19.6 doesn't change the pitch. I noticed, as well,
that the "calibrating timer" notice no longer appears when entering
the <o> (oh) command during image generation in or after the
ver.20 release,. I suspect that that may have something to do with
the pitch shifting. Just a hunch.
At any rate, the pitch shifting does present a problem for
standardizing fractint sound output.
Is there any non-hostile way to insert a hardwired
resolution into a par file?
