I'm still using Win95 (first issue), with IE40, but it works pretty well in
a DOS-box. I see no reason why it wouldn't work in a Win98 DOS box. I know
the dos4gw DPMI loader can be troublesome sometimes, but I had no problem
whatsoever. I would try Win98, but Win98 ruins my ISDN setup, so I'm still
on Win95. Only one thing: the "Path To Raytracer" should be in 8.3 format
(something similar to "E:\POV-RA~1\BIN\PVENGINE.EXE"). No difficulties
otherwise.

People are trying to port POV-Lab it to other OSes, so perhaps there will
also be a Win32 version once (POV-Lab is Open Source now).
