Hi(gh)!

With my ongoing "POV-Ray archaeology" I sometimes find scenes from the 
20th century ;-) that cannot be correctly rendered with current 
POV-Ray... so I would like to know how to obtain ancient versions like 
3.5, 3.1, 3.0 or even 2.2 (preferably for Windows/DOS to run on my XP 
laptop, as installing them unter Linux probably would be too complicated!

Any suggestions?

See you in Khyberspace!

Yes, I got them... they all run well under XP, even 2.2 for DOS! 
Memories of 1995... but also a new experience, as back then I used 
POV-Ray only via Moray, I did not expect that 2.2 does not yet know of 
promoting uniform vectors (such als color rgb <1, 1, 1>) to a single 
float value!

See you in Khyberspace!
