Hi POV-ray users,
    I thought I'd drop you a note about our modeler Silo and its new ability
to export to .pov files as well as to link to POV-ray for direct renders - I
hope this is an appropriate place to post this.  Feel free to contact us if
you have any questions at inf### [at] nevercentercom.  Thanks for making POV-ray a
great product!

      Silo 1.16 Released!
      Nevercenter Ltd. Co. is proud to announce the release of Silo 1.16,
which now includes support for linking to Renderman-compliant renderers and
POV-ray for direct rendering from Silo.  Options include the ability to add
header and footer files to the render file, and the ability to optionally
include or exclude light, camera, and material information.

      Also new to 1.16 are such improvements as a more advanced universal
manipulator and manipulator options, as well as some tool enhancements and
workflow improvements.  Silo continues to be updated and improved at a
breakneck pace.

      Visit our site now (www.nevercenter.com) to download the latest
version of Silo.  Users who have purchased Silo get the upgrade for free,
and will continue to get all version 1.x upgrades for free.  Those who have
not yet purchased the software can try the free 40-use demo included with
the full version, and buy the full version at our online store for just
$109.

      Stay tuned for our next release, which will be concurrent with the
release of our plugin SDK for ultimate toolset customizability.

It is but please don't post attachments in the non-binaries groups and 
don't multi-post to several groups.

Just out of curiousity (well, sort of - it's not a completely trivial question),
what's the etiquette regarding posting to a binary group with an attachement,
but cross-posting to non-binary groups? I assume it's still a no-no for the
benefit of those with slow connections....

Obviously those only downloading the non-binary groups for bandwidth 
reasons will give you the right answer.  I don't see any advantage of 
cross posting a binary to a non-binary group except forcing those who 
don't want it to read it.  Moral judgement on this it up to you.

And even when posting to a binaries group, the subject of the article
should contain information that the article has an attachment and how
big it is (some people might want to skip the biggest attachments).
