First of all, let me apologize right out if someone else has asked
already, or if it just annoys you (since I know the Pov-Team is still
quite busy). I was just wondering about when a downloadable version of
the documentation would be up? I'm on a slow (14.4k) connection and
prefer to browser docs offline.
No hurry or rush, just curious. Oh and awsome rework of the site btw - I
am greatly impressed!

Do you mean something other than the help files that come with the
installation?

Is there a PDF, pure HTML, or even text version available (like with the old
3.1 release)?

All binary distributions include documentation! So you already have the
documentation if you downloaded POV-Ray 3.5.

I think that with .chm files there is source .html, but since .chm is
usually the better way to package them, why would you want source?

The unix versions come with html, I guess that 99.9% of the docs would apply to
the windows version...

Thanks, that's handy. I knew I could decompile the chm to it's sources, but
it wouldn't be easily navigable since all the files are listed as
"0000001.htm, 0000002... etc." once extracted.
The main reason I ask this is that most PDA's can't display CHM (compiled
html help) files correctly or at all (Palm, HPC, WinCE 2.11), and there is
no freely available PDF viewing software for PDA's, so HTML or text works
the best.
Linux to the rescue.

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I usualyl post in the unix
newsgroup so I don't take time to mention that I run linux :) I guess
when you run it so much you forget that not everyone uses it (and why
not? :). In any case, I was referring to the Linux povray 3.5 distro in
reguards to the html documentation. If it does come with the linux
distribution, I can't seem to find it anywhere :/ Could someone point me
to where the install script puts it?
Thanks

*OH* my mistake. I found it amongst the tgz distro. But where does the
install script put it? That is what I didn't think it was bundled with
it - because I couldn't find it :) Sorry about the confusion.
Take Care,
Tim S.
