I did actually go and grab xfractint from a few places. Both the 2.00
and 2.03 versions. I had to spend an hour killing compile errors
since both versions seem specific to HPUX or other SYSV systems.
Further, my (sort of quick and dirty) port doesn't seem to leave the
curses stuff for the text window in good shape. (sometimes the text
window display is "damaged" on redraw, especially at startup when that
scrolling stuff is going on.)
Has anyone done a better job porting xfractint to FreeBSD (V1.1R)?
Is there a version out there which comes out of the tarball without
all the HPUXisms? It seemed to me from reading the INSTALL readme and
the Makefile that the original code was not HPUX specific. But two
different versions from two sites were both HPUX specific and archie
wasn't of much extra help. (and I specifically didn't grab the files
from the dirs that archies said had "HPUX" in the pathname...)
