Just wondering if any possibility of a linux release of Pov-Ray beta in the
near future. BTW, although I'm haven't done too much in multithreaded
programming in linux I'll be willing to take a look to see if I might could
port some code over if someone could point me to the 3.7b code...

Thanks,
Jonathan

this is still valid.  Note the lack of a Linux beta version is not a 
matter of 'porting some code'.  The core code is completely platform 
independent but the Linux frontend and the whole build system have not 
been adapted to the new design yet.

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll just wait then. BTW, while running
3.7.0.beta.11b.icl8.win32 on Win98SE on both a Pentium III 600Mhz and
Pentium 166MHz with option +GA or +GD my debug messages do show up in the
Message window, they do in the 3.6 version and MegaPOV 1.2 version I have,
is this my doing or just a hicup of the beta. No biggie, just curious.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Do you mean "they don't show up in 3.7 and they do in 3.6"?

Yes, debug messages such as this:
#debug "This is a test."
will show up in my 3.6 version and my MegaPOV, but does not show up in my
3.7 version messages window.

IIRC, POV-Ray for Windows doesn't show debug messages until it finds the 
line end character. (Not sure if this is what you're seeing.) Try 
putting a \n on the end of the string.
