AS the subject says...  my povray help file is corrupted.

I am using the latest version...
I looked around but cannot find a place that will allow me
to brab JUST the help file....
I know it is over 6 meg...but if some kind soul out there
could zip it for me...and mail to   joh### [at] homecom
I would be most grateful.
(if you would like to email me first and ask for "confirmation"
before sending such a LARGE attachment to the above address...
I will gladly reply A.S.A.P


                                    Thank you.....

                                    Johnny

Actually, it probably isn't really corrupted, just not working properly.  Same
thing though right?
Try deleting the povray31.gid file (it's a hidden file; and the pvengine.gid
maybe) in the Help subfolder of POV-Ray folder then when the help files are
accessed those will be rebuilt.  Probably should have POV-Ray not running at
the time of deletion.
Hope that fixes it for you.

Bob
