The problem is that colors in fractint range from 0 to 63, and are
multiplied by 4 to get the postscript values.  63x4=FB.  It should probably
be multiplied by 4.0635 to scale correctly.
 
The reason epsf=0 results in a .eps file is that some parameters are changed
whenever you change the epsf value, no matter what you change it to.  This
is probably a bug.

You could define a new value of the postscript resolution to indicate device
resolution, such as -1.  Just fix the documentation appropriately.

If you send me fixes for the problems, I'll add them to xfractint eventually.
Unfortunately I don't have much time to spend on xfractint now, so the fixes
will get installed sooner if they are straightforward (e.g. patch files).
