In case someone is wondering what the UberPOV icon is supposed to 
represent, here's a large version of it. It was originally designed to 
replace the splash screen, but obviously there's nothing to replace 
there anymore.


some decorative fonts, particularly in logos, the umlaut-dots of the 

other inside the U. Thus, the image could be a rendition of the first 
character of the program's name.

The logo is also an homage to POV-Ray, as the crescent and "sun" are 
taken directly from the POV-Ray logo. The cone is replaced with another 
sphere though.

The crescent and "planet" use highly translucent SSLT; the "corona" of 
the "sun" is some surprisingly simple emissive media, based on a bozo 
pigment with black hole warp, combined with a radius function into a 
function pigment.

This finally reveals the choice of the name. I ever guessed that there are two
dots missing. Good work. For the moment I had only the opportunity to run some
of your examples. My main interest in UberPOV is the readln-feature as you may
guess from older postings.

BTW Your Windows-exe-archive contains a dll with is already shipped with POV
3.7. Your dll is smaller. Is this intended as a replacement?

Best regards,
Michael

That feature was inspired by some postings somewhere on these 
newsgroups, so you might actually be reaping what you sowed :-)

No, to the contrary - I just happen to have packed them along because 
the build process spit them out. They don't give any benefit over the 
official POV-Ray 3.7 DLLs, so it is discouraged to replace them.

The logo it's nice, but it resembles a little the Eye of Sauron on the
