Hi.

I'm just getting back to the POV-Ray world... and the first thing I was 
doing (well, second, but first public) is getting my R-Cast thingie 
system dusted off and working better.

The first versions out will be Java. Next might be others. It's uses 
some basic transfer mechanisms, but not RMI (since openess is good).

Oh, and it will be Zeroconf enabled.  :-)
(It would be Rendezvous enabled, but I'm not up to keeping up with 
Apple's trademark agreement at the moment)


Got anyone who might want to help me beta?
