Hello Hernik:

How is everythig.


already has its infrastructure set. MPI for POVRAY will work for me like a
charm.

The latest version I found of MPI for POVRAY was meant for version 3.1g.

Where can I find a newer one, to start testing?


develop a MPI patch for the latest version of POVRAY.

Feel free to contact me at ein### [at] cecalculave

Thanks.
