The Windows section of the download says, "The 32-bit version requires at
least Windows 95 ...", implying that it will run on Windows/95; however the
current v3.6 binary does not.  It installs properly but when you attempt to
start povray,  an error message-box appears saying somthing about povray
being linked to shell.dll which is missing export GetSpecialFolderNames."

It would be helpful to have a binary that continues to run properly on
Windows/95, thanks.
