Wide Grin.

I must agree with Jon. There wouldn't be much reason for a JAVA-POV to look
exactly like the old POV, would there? Why would someone want to use it
then, better to stick to the original...
No, the idea was to use a more powerful "real" programming language to
create even more complex "scripted" scenes than "possible" with pure
POV-Script (which means: "Possible in an easier and halfway readable,
maintainable and understandable way", because everything is just plain
*possible* in POV-Script of course, the question is, how difficult it is).
Other people had the same idea earlier, using C++ or Perl for that, I
thought Java would be good for that too...

Greetings,
Johannes.
