DOS Fractint "Restore" file list omits latest images
Does anyone know if the silent omitting of files from the "Restore" file list (see behavior below) is the result of a "compiled in" limitation in DOS Fractint or a memory limitation in the WinXP DOS environment? When I recently tried to "Restore" an image in my DOS Fractint Ver 20.04.4 under WinXP SP3, I discovered that I couldn't see the last few fractals that it had calculated in the directory listing of .gif images able to be Restored. The files were really there, and could be listed and viewed by other software -- but were just not presented in the Fractint "Restore" command's file list. I noted that I had 5 thousand and some-odd files in the /Fractint/ directory, and on a whim, moved 600 of my older images to a new folder. Lo and behold, the latest images appeared in the "Restore" command's file list! Any observations on this behavior would be appreciated. Fractint Developers, would you be kind enough to address any replies to the Fractint email list serve? Thanks! - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane@earthlink.net ########################
