The RenderFarm is in a betaverion available.I will send it to you on
request via email.

> Please describe it a bit more exactly.

The program runns under win95 and scans a povray-ini-file forthe start and
endframe of an animation.
Then it starts povray automatically to render one frame.
If a networkcomputer is connected via the renderfarm to the local
computer, it will get the next subframejob.

The configuration is very easy. You have to specify the Povraypathname
(just copy the destination from the povraylink on your desktop)
and then to drag and drop a povrayfile (*.ini or *.pov) onto the
ToDo-List.

If you want to get a networkconnection, you have to specify the name of
your povray-server and to press the connect-button.

The serverfunctionallity must not be specified.

One interesting feature is, that the order of the frames can be switched
into an noncontinuos order. So you can get easily a first impression of
your animation over the whole sequence. And with time it will become
more and more complete.
(the subframes are started in a reverse binary order)

> Hint: You may ask Kan to add it to his links list!

Ken is informed already.
