Okay. Replies to the past few suggestions...
First, thanks for all the input so quickly.
Second, I still can't seem to get the Mandelbrot picture to save correctly.
The Nibble magazine picture saver only saves 33 blocks (that's 16K, which
doesn't cover my picture nearly enough. I've also got a PD picture saver
which suffers the same problems. I am using a GS with 1.25 Meg, new ROMs.
I'm wondering if the new ROMs have something to do with it, since my picture
displayer suffered similar problems before someone posted that POKE to fix
the problem.
When I load the picture from my file, the Video Register is set for
non-linear, yet the picture displays in linear mode. The closest I've been
able to get to loading the picture has been with SHRConvert, which seems
to load the picture into four small pictures (two on the top half of the
screen, two on the bottom half.)
Could my linearity be messed up?
BTW, The algorithm is the one used in _The Beauty of Fractals_, with K
set to 225 (225 colors) and color=k-INT(k/15)*15+1 (so I get 15 reps of
15 colors, of which only two reps show on the standard picture with -2.25<R<.75
and -1.5<i<1.5)
I tried programming it in Pascal, but the Beta TMLPascal that I was using
compiled, linked, and crashed. My next step is Assembly, but I dread using
SANE through Assembly, since it will probably put SANE through just about
every type of calculation short of transcendental functions.
