I belive I have foundd a bug, or at least a minor irritation in the windows
version of pov-ray. 

appearance :
in a very slow loop I have(some 140 000 items) I wanted a percentage meter, and
thus I made a #if(mod(Y,N/10)=0) #debug "." #end
statement(this isn't the real one, I actually had a bit more optimized code, as
well as some statistics) but to my irritation, a line isn't updated with new
output unless I add a "\n" to the output. I really didn't want to output
everything to a new line, but this seems impossible. I've tried with
#debug
#render
#statistics
#warning 
by obvious reasons, #error isn't very appropiate .-)

version of POV :
Version 3.1e.watcom.win32 [Pentium II optimized]

I don't know if this is some optimization, to output to a line only when it is
full, but either a addition to the help files(that this is the case) or a
software addition.

Thankyou.
