I posted FRACTINT for the author, Bert Tyler. The 32 bit integer arithmetic goes faster than the 387. I forget the exact speed ratio but I think it is 6 times faster. In fact Bert originally got interested in the fractle program when he got a version that used the FP processor and tried various ways to speed it up. Richard Marks
