I look at it after posting this, yes, and then I walked over to a friend with a WinDOS
PC (P2 266). It looks terrible and seems to be very limited and difficult to use (not
very flexible) compared to Apples QT technology (which is proven for years now). It
takes me less than a minute to create a QT VR movie out of *free* tools by simply
drgging the output image (actually, POV-Ray Mac can directly output to QuickTime
Movies, this goes for single frames as well as *animations* - so I could even directly
create a digial video stream to upload to a digial video recorder via FireWire...just
to let you know :-) on the application,it will ask me I I want to change the default
compression and then I press a "Create" button and after 30 sec all is done!
(And note that a former POV-Ray team member, Jim Nitchals, worked on Apples
QuickTime!!! And is even mentioned as doing its optimzation on QT VR in the SIGGRAPH
95 paper...)

Thorsten;

PLEASE WRAP YOUR POSTS AT 80 COLUMNS !!!

Your posts are almost unreadable to some users of this group (including
myself). I will point out that I have asked you to do this before.

If you want reminding how your posts look outside your own newsreader, try
looking at the cgi web version of the above post -

Mac can, and on every Mac there is no problem as Mac e-mail and news
clients auto-wrap when reading messages. And all provided a *working*
wrapping when send e-mail and news except Outlook Express (of course a
Microsoft product) which I am using.

Actually Outlook Express can in the windows version that I am using(4.72)

Tools->
    Options->
        Send->
            News Sending Format-Plain Text - Setting->
                    Automatically wrap text at [   76   ]

I would imagine that the Mac version has something similar as this is a
basic function of most mail applications.

Yes, it has (of course) this option, but the text will be reformatted
whenever ou even save an e-mail or news as a draft...and editing later
will give a terribly messed up layout making it even more unreadable.
