I had not seen it, or else I would have talked about Emacs. There is a
pov-mode.el for Emacs, doing syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, a
bit of syntax checking, etc. Emacs exists for Unix (of course), but
also for DOS and probably for Windows 95. Emacs has also many many many
features: it is said that the only thing it does not do is preparing
coffee. You can read your mail, or news, or browse the web, or get files
via FTP, or launch programs, or edit directories, or... Of course, I do
not wish to launch another religion war, so I add that the key bindings
are somewhat exotic at first sight (Save: Ctrl-X Ctrl-S, exit: Ctrl-X Ctrl-C)
but how many times I got strange characters in a DOS edit session because
I wanted to save my file...

Oops, I have been longer than I expected. Happy ray-tracing,

Roland.
