Would it be possible for someone to re-upload this file to SIMTEL?
It is in PD1:<MSODS.GRAPHICS> and the archive is corrupt (just the .EXE file
naturally :-) ). I've tried downloading it three times now so I know it isn't
me screwing up the xfer.
I really wanna get ahold of this program :-)
Thanx in advance.
[If you need to mail me use my Bitnet address. Thanx.]

I've tried downloading it three times now so I know it isn't >me screwing up the xfer. I have downloaded and extracted (successfully) both FRAINT10.ARC and FRASRC10.ARC (which contains the C source code to fractint 10). However, I did notice that two of the files (the executable and doc file, I think) were "squashed", which some ARC extractors can't handle. Perhaps this is your problem. If not this, when you are downloading to your PC, are you setting the transfer to 'binary' mode and using parity set to 8 data bits and no parity bits? This may also be the source of the problem. (By the way, I am THRILLED to find that this version has a file called yourvid.c, which allows the user to write routines to use a video mode that may not be in the program like I have. :-) Now I can use that ATI Graphics Solution 640x200x16 mode with fractint instead of the (Ugh! Bleech!) CGA 320x200x4 color mode. What a difference!) --Jeff Hartung-- Disclaimer: My opinions only, etc., etc., BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!... ARPA - hartung@amos.ucsd.edu UUCP - ucsd!amos.ucsd.edu!hartung

I've downloaded other programs from SIMTEL and they've turned out fine - so I can't figure out what is going wrong. I'm using the latest version of PKPAK/PKUNPAK so it isn't that either.

You download procedure is suspect. Let me step in to defend this guy. I have been downloading from SIMTEL for a short while now, and I have found it very frustrating. I am using the trickle server, because I have only mail connection, which adds to my troubles, but that's not really my main gripe. Everything I get that is uuencoded has a broken checksum character. Every line ends with "M" where a varying checksum would be expected. Thus, while uudecode sometimes makes a correct archive I have to deal with an error message for every line. I generally expect to make a request three or four times before I get all the parts and a useable archive. I do not vary my procedure for doing this, but I have to space the requests to one per day for most things, because of the limits imposed by the trickle server. I have not identified the problems with the trickle server replies, but as I said, I have not been varying my procedures; the stuff arrives broken more often than not. Since it eventually arrives useable, I assume that it is not broken at SIMTEL, but this does not help me a lot.
