In Warp's FAQ there's a question:

"I'm getting a 'error in Help file - contact your vendor' error."

AFAIK this only occurs with Windows. The help file of POV-Ray 3.5 for
Windows is now in HTML format.
I haven't seen this error at POV-Ray 3.5 anymore. Does this still
happen to anyone at POV-Ray 3.5? Shouldn't it get removed?

I'm sorry my newsreader doesn't support followups. Please post your
answer to povray.windows .

  I can remove it from the doc version if it's obsolete.

You are using Outlook Express 6.  This does support followups, but it's
kinda tricky...

Since no-one seems to have noticed this error in POV-Ray 3.5, could you
remove this section and upload a new ZIP-file?

  What do you mean by "upload a new ZIP-file"?

To upload a new version of your FAQ (without the help-file-section) at
http://www.students.tut.fi/~warp/povVFAQ/ and to upload a new ZIP-file
on this page ("You can download all the html files (and background
images) as a zip file (120kB).")
btw: check the size, it's more than 120kB.

  I got confused by your wording.

  Firstly, I don't "upload" the pages there, as I edit them in situ.

  Secondly, why should I remove the entry from my home page? There is still
a huge amount of people out there using 3.1 and that entry might help them.
  What I meant was that I can (automatically) remove that entry from the
version which goes to the pov3.5 documentation.

In the message compose window, click on the "view" menu and select "all
headers".  Kind of a silly place to put it...
