The aspect ratio problem (when saving the FractalPro –> Vista files) is caused by mapping a 320×400 aspect ratio for FractalPro data points to a 268×268 aspect ration for Vista data points. So a round area in FractalPro becomes oval in Vista, right? I can't see how Vista is going to change things, since their data format is set – square @ 268×268. One solution I can see would be for FractalPro to calculate a different set of iteration values, based on the Vista 1:1 aspect ratio, rather than the screens 320:400. You could use the set point at the exact middle of the screen (160,200) as the middle of this new set, and work backwards to get the upper-left starting corner, etc. You could always use the same points you'd already computed and interpolate, but that would violate the spirit of fractals, right? 🙂 Your data works fine with my HAM-E conversion since I am also plotting to a 320×400 screen. I was sorry to have missed you at the AmiExpo too. I dropped in several times, and talked with your assistant, but never had the chance to meet you. I may be in your area in over the summer and would make it a point to drop by. You'll at least get a long letter regarding FractalPro 5.0 from me! ttfn –jp–seattle–
