iterated-dynamics: A C++ repository from zhon

Tip: In VS.NET 2003, select the FractIntSetup project in the Solution
explorer.  Then select Project / Unload Project to unload the setup
project.  It isn't built in the Debug configuration, but processing the
project itself is slow, so keep it unloaded until you need to build a
setup.

Project Structure

common      Files common to all implementations
    3d
        Files containing 3D drawing support.  Eventually these should be
        subsumed into the driver interface, with this sofwtare implementation
        as a fallback if the driver doesn't support 3D rendering.

    engine
        Files containing the implementation of the fractal rendering engines
        that are shared between multiple fractal types.  Also contains the
        big array that defines the available fractal types.

    fractal specific
        Files containing rendering code or user interaction code that is
        specific to a particular fractal, such as the Lorenz fractal or
        L-system type.

    i/o
        Anything related to doing external file I/O: saving and loading GIF
        files, dealing with overlay files, saving parameter files, etc.

    math
        Files containing math routines for arbitrary precision arithmetic,
        complex arithmetic, etc.

    plumbing
        Miscellaneous routines that don't fit elesewhere like memory and
        driver management.

    ui
        Anything to do with displaying menu screens, help screens, intro
        screen, etc.

data
    All the data files that go along with a complete fractint installation
    but aren't needed for compiling.  These are kept here for reference and
    so that they can be edited directly from VS.NET.

drivers
    Files specific to each driver.  Generally these are named d_XXX.c, but
    if you have a lot of files in your driver implementation, add a folder
    here called d_XXX and put all your driver files in that folder, both
    on disk and in the project.

headers
    Header files

help
    Help source files with a custom build step on help.src to run the help
    compiler on the source to generate new FRACTINT.HLP and HELPDEFS.H
    files.

main
    Miscellaneous files in the main fractint source folder.  These are not
    currently used for any of the compilation of the code and are placed
    here just for reference.

win32
    Files needed for the Win32 platform.

TODO:
    - Windows printing
    - GDI based driver
    - DirectX based driver
    - Get key reading semantics right

2006.12.26.23.09
    Basic plotting through dotwrite working.
2006.12.27.00.53
    vidtbl vs. g_video_table confusion resolved.
    Eliminate one use of extraseg for vidtbl.
2006.12.27.02.26
    Basic disk video messages displaying.
2006.12.28.17.34
    Disk video status screen corrected.
    Memory error in disk cache corrected.
    TAB display showing properly.
    Add driver name and description to TAB screen.
    Deprecate fracting.cfg for video modes.
2006.12.31.12.53
    Fix bug with video table when you select a video mode the 2nd time around.
    Fix space toggle bug on intro screen, but still too many keyboard routines;
    need to narrow it down to just the two driver routines and not all these
    inner layers.
2007.01.01.12.24
    Fix expand_dirname problem.
2007.01.01.21.17
    Key input working reliably and consistently now!  Whew!
    Ctrl+TAB bug fixed.  F10 and other "system key down" events reported.
2007.01.01.23.38
    It renders!
2007.01.04.03.12
    Fix file/directory browsing bugs.
