Of course, that one was boring, and I can't leave well enough alone, so...

From now on you will be known as the POV-Signature Master.

It can display the rendering in an X window while rendering, which is how
I do it.  I code in an editor, save, click on the term and repeat last
command, which is a test render.   I could setup a hotkey in the editor
to do this ias well of course, but havnt

Okay, thanks for enlightening me on that, I don't remember what other people
had said about it so I envisioned mostly Gnome or KDE or Wine (never have
used Linux BTW) being used with POV-Ray somehow in those.  I used the
POV-Ray for DOS quite a bit years ago and it sounds a lot like how that was,
although you probably have a better editor than MS Edit like I had used.  I
fluctuated quite a bit between the DOS and Windows ones but CodeMax really
ended that for me.

Well, I use emacs for POV-Ray. Aside from not having pretty graphical buttons,
it's probably one of the best full-featured IDE's available. I also use it at
work for C, C++, Java...

And it's not like my company can't afford other tools.  :-)

http://www.acc.umu.se/~woormie/povray/

JDE for doing Java in emacs is quite nice:
http://jde.sunsite.dk/

But the main thing is that JDE's quick tour
http://jde.sunsite.dk/quicktour.html and it's users' guide
http://jde.sunsite.dk/jdedoc/html/jde-ug/jde-ug.html let you see a little what
one school of Unix/Linux users like.

Of course, there are more 'traditional' looking IDE's for Unix, but I find
Emacs fastest for my development.

http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/
http://www.slickedit.com/products/pr_products.php
http://www.jext.org/
http://www.metroworks.com/desktop/soltools/
http://www.metroworks.com/desktop/linux/
...

Well, actually, that kind of points out the general feel that people who use
Unix are all very different, and like to do things how they work for them, and
like the freedom to do so.

Cool! Pity about the ( file://RON thingy, I guess you could just change it to
(// RON  and then it should be fine on Outlook Express as well.

  That was not what he posted. You should fix your news reader.

Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to be fixable. I spent several hours looking
through
options, the help file and the registry and I didn't find a way to stop
outlook
putting file: before every // that's followed by characters

  Then you should use a news reader which doesn't corrupt articles.

With you knack of making obvious but useless comments, I sense a fine career in
IT support....
