I was thinking of playing around with the julia object, more specifically
with the more intriguing types (asinh, reciprocal etc.) However, aside from
sqr and cube (which render fine with both quaternions and hypercomplex), no
fractal would render! I had queued 19 animations 100 frames each for the
night and in the morning a single pixel hasn't been rendered. POV was busy
(99% kernel processor usage), but a) it reported 0 pps and b)it stopped
rendering about 3 minutes after I pressed Alt-G. Next time I exit from POV
the pvengine rendering thread was still in memory. I tried this on many
fractals but with the same results. I am using Win95 on a K6/200 32 RAM. I
used the following POV versions:

3.02 for Win95 (watcom, Pentium optimised)
POVISO
TMPOV
POVPRO
POV with Pentium Pro optimisations a friend compiled with MSVC5.0

Any ideas?

Ah, yes, attached is the code in question
