Is there any way to increase this limit?  ...or do I have to start from
scratch and write my own version of fractint?

Just how many bits of fraction does fractint use?

I also find a limit of 1000 on iterations to be rather small.  I guess I
am just used to doing these on an IBM mainframe with my own program where
I have run iterations to 262144.
