I've been making a scene with Moray and adding to it incrementally to the
point that now Povray won't render it. When I try to merely open the .pov
file in Povray, I get this error message:
"Failed to open file:
The paging file is too small for this operation to complete."
What is a paging file and how can I fix it?

Thanx, I didn't recognise the term;  I think it was called something else in
Win 95/98.

I just remembered, up until now, I've always seen it refered to as "swap
file".

Same thing. Set it to system ram + 128 Mib.. usually works best. :)

BTW.. I'm recovering from a slight crash here, thus no new picture rendered.
But I will do it ASAP.
