Sure. But what is the difference between testing and using? I can't imagine
any test without using the thing *lol*

What should I start over?
There was no special target for the question. I just wondered. If one wants
to give valueable feedback to the developers showing up a bug, one should
send in a scene file demonstrating it. Doing so, the version at client side
doesn't matter since the bug first must be reproduceable at developers side.
At least this was the way I did when sending in bug reports to developers
and what I forced to do my customers when receiving reports.
Worked fine.

Really? I am green with envy due to your ability of an objective measurement

Might be. We should investigate this!

Indeed. Is it not similar to this with any software?

I hope not only for using PoV?
Hopefully you have also seen some -real- nature outdoors? .-)

It has been fully explained, go back over the replies and try to figure
it out. If that is not enough, go to the beta news-group and watch what the
testers are doing.
If you are unhappy with the expiration, I am sure someone can instruct
you on how to uninstall the software.

That was meant philosophically. Doesn't matter.

Hm. The expiration doesn't bother me at all. The thing I am currently
working on runs even on 3.1g but for speed macro I use MegaPoV 0.7
But thank you, anyway.
But why do you think that I am unhappy with the expiration?

You're either very peculiar or being deliberately provocative. Who needs
usenet?
