This list complete as of version 20.

None of these are necessarily supported in future.

Add one to any debug value to trigger writing benchmark values to


the file "bench". This gets stripped at startup; so all values
used for other purposes are even.

Example: "fractint debug=8088" forces Fractint to think you have an


8088/8086 CPU and ignore all of the tricky 186/286/386-specific stuff.
"Fractint 8089" does the same thing, but also turns on the benchmark
timer.
