Great!  Merging MP 1.0 with Pov-Ray 3.5.1 is a next step for us.

Ok, it is rather special...
You should view these docs under X with Netscape 7.0.1 or Mozilla.
Don't use IE because IE... I prefer IE for day to day use but whenever
there is something special, IE messes up. Perhaps Bill doesn't like
Mac's? :-) :-)
Well... no,  we will have to figure out what is wrong in the docs.

Personally I use Chimera for OS X. A very nice browser for OS X.
We do know that the docs are not perfect for the mac builds of MegaPOV
but they will have to do for now.
We will try to improve things for a next release.


whenever possible you should use X and not -X.
I had to rerun 9 to test the classic version and the first thing I
encountered  was a total system freeze. I didn't had that for months
while running X!

Trying to convince the guys at http://www.versiontracker.com to fix the
links for people using system 8.5 or lower was a hard job. This shows
how many people are using X.

But you are right, the Mac docs must improve.
