Brief feature list: - GTK-based GUI (screenshots at: http://gnofract4d.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html) - 24bit color and antialiasing - named parameters + separate colorfuncs as in UltraFractal
Obviously there are many Fractint features which are NOT supported, including logmap, stereo, 3D, L-systems, DOS or Windows support, periodicity-checking, IFS, etc, etc.
Before I presume to speak for Stone Soup, you'll notice that FRACTINT/DOS comes with a necessarily incomplete list of contributors, including e-mail addresses, and that there is an XWindows version of FRACTINT. Depending on some wrangling you might want to pursue with the developers, especially Tim Wegner and Jason Osuch... M$ likes talking about integration. What they are talking about, really, is collaboration that they've been denied in the courtroom. Jason Osuch compiled the last release of FRACTINT/DOS that I know of, and last time I read anything about it, he was having trouble maintaining his operating system. (Aren't we all?!) Try giving him a summary of what you've done with gnofract besides reinvent the wheel. Perhaps XFractint can be an alias for gnofract, but like I said, there are people who might want to steer besides me.
