It's written in C++. The gui is a browser. It supports SMP on Windows and Linux.
Right now i'm still using POV 3.1 because i want to custom compile POV 3.5.
My M$ pov 3.1 is thin, command line only; 32bit povdos without the menus.
Linux uses standard povray.
My bsac server is thin too. 900KB runtime memory on Linux and 2MB on Windows;
leaves more memory for POV ;) .
