None of the URLs that I come across work.  I'm looking for DTA for
windows and am a little pressed for time to get it.  Anyone know of a
mirror site that has it?

Dearmad's site went off-line about 3 1/2 weeks ago and he is ignoring
my emails about it's status. I can send you my copy of the win32 archive
if you so desire or you can get the older v2.2 version at this site -

Question for you Mike,

I notice that you are using your AOL address when replying here. There
is a person over at CGRR who tells me that since he is posting through
AOL he cannot subscibe to these groups. It this true or is there a
way for him to access the groups here using his AOL account ?

Unfortunately AOL isn't very good about informing their members on how to
access things outside of the service.  It's very easy to do but requires an
external browser.  I use netscape.

Here's what I tell people to do:  install netscape, run it, then skip all
the things it asks you to do EXCEPT where it asks you for newsgroup server
info.  Tell it the news server name is news and to use port 119.  You'll
also want to put a name for yourself and probably an e-mail address.  After
that you can open Collabra, enter news.povray.org as the server and then
pick the groups you want to subscribe to (under file->subscribe to
discussion groups).

Also, some people get confused on how to use the browser.  You need to sign
onto AOL and then open the netscape.  Once you are connected to AOL you are
connected to the internet.  It won't work with IE inside AOL.

It would be really cool if you could send me the win32 version.  I have the
old command line version, but I think I'm going to need a GUI interface
because the files I'm putting together are an awful mess.  Just send it to
pov### [at] aolcom if it isn't too much trouble.

  Mike, this sounds like another topic that might be useful in a faq, or
even the VFAQ here on this server.

Using Outlook Express here, it's fine through AOL.  True that IE, if being
associated with AOL, will try and use the AOL Newsgroup protocol (correct
term for this? don't know).  I would guess that if Netscape were passed
through AOL instead it also would complain there isn't a valid group.
So, if IE is made to be it's own (default) browser outside of AOL all should
go fine.
Btw, there can be suggested additions to the listed AOL Newsgroups, however
I think it unlikely to happen so I don't bother to try, doesn't mean it's
not possible I suppose.
Oh, and about the DTA for Windows, only the player DFV32 is a gui far as I
could tell, the DTA32 has no gui, or if there is I never saw one.  Just has
the ability to use your Avi codecs (and is 32 bit I think).

It wouldn't do them much good in a VFAQ on this server if they can't reach
this server :)  Oh you mean on Warp's VFAQ page - I get it now....

  Yeah, I meant the one at Warp's http://iki.fi/warp/povVFAQ.html and I
should've specified 'link' in the p.announce.f-a-q group. Thanks for
clearing that up, Ken.
