Fine utility Theo!

Beginning to try SMPOV after checking around for this kind of network
rendering stuff. I hadn't been interested before since I only networked with
one other PC from my notebook by using a patch cable and so I never kept the
two connected except to transfer files. Now I have a wireless router and new
PC.

Too bad SMPOV is not rendering anything yet though.  : (

Doesn't start POV-Ray, and it isn't set to "hide". I wonder if it isn't set
up correctly. I have read through your step-by-step at the web site, and the
readme file. Sure doesn't seem like I'm missing anything so it's frustrating
to know other people have no problem using it while I can't.

Pentium IV 3.0 GHz with HT enabled, Windows XP HE. I put the files into
C:\Network Rendering, where it shows as a Distro9 subfolder. I also used the
WinRobot to set POV as needed (just to be sure). I see that the batch files
are created, along with info, ini, txt files but nothing happens from there
onward. The progress bar is all the way across SMPOV's window. Dual Thread
Vertical and 640x480 chosen. Rendering Agent was set to use CPU 1 and CPU 2.

Maybe I'll discover the solution myself, not sure. Anyway, thanks for making
what might be a great thing. :-)
