      Gah, sorry. It works for me with my editing prog. but then I have to 
change it back again to play Oblivion...  :(

   As an aside, I remember asking if PoV could handle large files some 
four/five years ago, (3.1g?), and I received the answer that, yes, PoV could 
easily handle a 100Mb's file. Back then, I was using sPatch frequently, and 
a 'heavy' sPatch file (for me) could easily have been over 4.5Mb's. I think, 
(back then), that I only had 256Mb memory, and I could still render an 
image. So, I'm thinking that maybe something is wrong with the way that one 
(or maybe two), of the programs that you've used are at fault?

     Have you tried to start from the beginning again?

    I'm intrigued and fascinated at what you are trying to achieve with 
235,000 lines of code and want to see the result/s!  ;o)

     Again, good luck.

     ~Steve~
