It's not my intention to "obscure the fact" that I am using POV-Ray in my
program. My program is texture lab that allow create and test POV-Ray
textures interactively and IN ALL THE PROGRAM CONTEXT "it's obvious" that
it use POV_RAY to show the results. The only reason I want to skip the
Splash Window is time. If the spash screen don't expend extra time, I don't
mind with it.
before you make some "personal comments", you must know if it refletes the
truth, Becouse Confucius said once, "Only the dummies make shure about what
they say".

thanks for your help,

Eduardo.
