SMPOV (128 kb alltogether) is ready in Version 1

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mabe you have heared that this or the other Rendering-program can distribute
Rendering on "8 PC's or 16 PC's at the same time".

Download this 129 kb und you can render your next picture on 100 PC's at the
same time
 AND you can use all local avaible CPU's. = distributed computing.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This new Version includes:

- Simple "drag 'n drop" user-Interface. Drop your file in, get a pic out.

- Render your picture on as many CPU's as you can get.
   No diffrence if they are local or in any PC in the Network.

-  full support for Animations.inclusiive "SubSet of Frames"-rendering.
(!NEW!)

- All explanations in english PLUS english Readme.txt with an detailed,
in-depth explanation (as good as I can :-).

- Can tile one picture up to 25x25 (=625 tiles) (each rendered somewhere
else :-).

- High-Speed picture-appender (puts 100 Tiles together while you hold your
breath).

- fully multithreaded (look in the Taskmanager how many threads SMPOV has).
- Reset-proof (tries to recover after a system-crash - includes the
RenderAgents on the Clients) (!NEW!)
- "Common.ini" - File where you can set genreal "INI"-options for all
rendered Files

Further:
- no need of any instrallation under W2k
- no Need of any installation on any Client-PC (I did not test it under W9x
however).
- You can also use the program to distribute Full pictures to other PC's for
rendering.

AND THE BEST:                                      ITS FREE.
Its my contribution to those people who gave me the POV 3.5 for free - the
best Raytracing Programm I know. (I have increased the  dispersion_samples -
now I see the rainbow colours !).

MY QUESTION:
What is the preferred way to inform interested people that the program
exists ?
FAQ, WEB-Site ? Can there be a link somewhere on the POV-Site ?

PLEASE:
report your experiences to me.
