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
The command completed but took over 6 hours to do so. I have it set to save every 60 minutes and it wasn't doing this so I thought it wasn't working. But I am wondering if it gets confused. It took 11 seconds of sys time to complete it. time ./xfractint -disk -geometry 4800x3600 batch=yes savename=work/save.gif "@test1.par/VsionOfaDistantSea" Thank You for using XFRACTINT real 397m59.904s user 397m31.113s sys 0m11.409s

The autosave code only works in the DOS version AFAIK. I know it's hard-coded into the assembly somewhere. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!

That is too bad. Is there a wishlist for xfractint? Because that should surely be on it. A peculiarity is that if I clicked on the window in batch mode, it would exit with return code 255. From what I gathered from the c code is that may be unexpected input. That is how I would attain the partial image I found. Is there any good way to find out the status when it is in batch mode?
