#Fractint help!
6 messages in this thread
Steve or anyone HELP!
Does anyone have fractint.020aga running yet? I have tried. The docs
indicate it should be run from the shell with no command line arguments
necessary. I tried this and continued to get the message "Unable to load
fractint.020aga" My configuration is a stock A1200HD – no accelerator and
only 2M Chip Ram. The only nonstandard things I have running are WShell2.0
and ToolManager2.1 Is it possible that there are files missing from the
FRCAGA.LHA archive? It is ~600KB vs the ~900KB of the FRACT.LHA that was
originally uploaded. FRCAGA contains no Amiga specific doc file, so
there's no help there.
Thanx in advance,
Stuart
Stuart,
Both the .020aga and .881aga versions run on my machine (A4000). There are are
no files missing other than the C source.
I suspect the thing is compiled to load into Fast RAM only. (How stupid can
Commodore get, shipping AGA machines with only Chip RAM?!)
BTW, do you have Terje Pedersen's address handy? I had it, but then I deleted
it because I figured it would be in the program or docs somewhere. Well, I need
to ask him some questions / report some bugs, and I can't find it anyplace.
There is a later version available than what is here … I'll upload it over
the weekend if I remember.
Thanks! This is a *fantastic* program, but the bugs and lack of documentation
of what is and isn't ported are making the learning curve steeper than it
should be. (My only having an ECS machine isn't helping either.)
Jim,
The A4000 ships with plenty of fast ram.
People want an inexpenisve entry point machine–the A1200 is it.
Give Commodore a break ok? (grin)
