Hi people,

	Povray linux beta 10 is available at
ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/3.5beta/povlinux.tgz.10

Happy poving,
Imran

p.s: what a coincidence that Mark started uploading just when I connected
to the ftp server :-)

No, it's not.  I copied the new one to povlinux.tgz.10, and when it was
done uploading, I removed the old one and renamed the new one to
povlinux.tgz.  That's the standard drill we use, so as to avoid messing
up downloads in progress during the upload.  Not that the old povlinux
was good for much after the expiration, but it's a habit.

Summary: yes, it's there, but the new version is still called
povlinux.tgz.

Thanks Mark, downloading it now. 

Just to make it really simple for people:

wget ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Linux/3.5beta/povlinux.tgz

Copy this to your command line and it will write the .tgz to your current
directory.

Umm.. Apologies for not knowing the standard procedure and posting a wrong
link. But I still have my copy called povlinux.tgz.10 :-)
