We try to provide those of you who don't compile MegaPOV with the best
possible binairies. 
Of course, we can only use the tools available to us.

We have prepared an alternative Windows GUI executable with MetroWerks
CodeWarrior 9.2.
This is highly experimental, but preliminary tests show that it performs
good, certainly compared to other binaries we can offer.

However, if we want to distribute this version as a final compile we
need to be sure that it is stable.
For this purpose we need some brave POVers who have no fear for the
unknown :-)

To those of you who want to give us a hand we ask to download
megapov-1.1-beta_windows-mw.zip at
http://megapov.inetart.net/download.html and try it out.

We are interested in speed results, compared to whatever version you can
compare it with, and we need to know if this version works without
problems and on what Windows version(s) you used it.

Please note that not many test have been done yet, so you might be in
for a surprise (read: immediate crash):-)

If you decide to help, please send all your findings, no attachments, to
meg### [at] megapovinetartnet. 
If you need to send attachments, please first ask how to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Yvo
