I have uploaded a revised FRACTINT version 13r to SIMTEL20.
FRAINT13.ZIP has been replaced with this file.

FRAIN13R.ZIP    fractal generator - supervga, 3D (recompiled)

FRACTINT is a full-featured, extremely fast, 2D and 3D fractal generator 
with extensive graphics adapter support. Version 13 adds: 
 - Boundary tracing
 - Faster "super solid guessing"
 - Henon, Rossler, Pickover, and Diffusion fractal types
As implemented in FRACTINT, "super solid guessing" is almost always
faster than boundary tracing, but boundary tracing is sure more fun
to watch!

NOTE:  version 13.0r is just version 13.0 re-compiled under Microsoft C
version 5.1 (13.0 was compiled under MSC 6.0).  When compiled under MSC 6.0,
the 'type=formula' code is partially broken (selecting the 'tetrate'
formula, for example, hangs your PC).  There is no corresponding 13.0r
source-code release, because the source code hasn't changed.

If you have found a bug in Microsoft C, report it to Microsoft!!!
They have a finder's policy such that the first person to find and report a bug gets a free update to the next version of the compiler.  It works too - my 6.0
upgrade was free due to a code generator bug I found in 5.1
