Is it your favourite setting or default by Outlook ?

Would it be possible to start agent as service on destination machine ?
In example I don't want to forbid to login other users during rendering.
What is priority of started pov-ray instance ?
How agent behaves when povray crashes during parsing/rendering ?

Can I set some priority of agent similiar to priority of POV-Ray (render
priority, gui priority, duty cycles) ?
How it behave when some agent would be lost/unplugged ?
I know I can find answers installing it but I don't have testing network. I
have working and important network. I have to know as much as possible before
installation.

Becouse license of programming tool tells different ?

I can't install personal firewall on company database server :-)
Again, I prefer to know as much as possible _before_ installation.
Reading sources could help :-)

Since it is different programming platform I doubt it could be easy.
Better try to investigate windows sources and (if necessary) learn C(++) if
you really want help :-)
Oh, I've seen some C++ books on your shelf so perhaps You are already ready to
code. If you do it don't forget to announce it to be included in
