Hello All.


 I've downloaded the source of PovRay and tried to compile
it for Windows NT using MsVc 5.0. The goal is to produce a
pentium 2 -friendly executable that use all possible optimisations
for this cpu.

It works almost right and I get a nearly 2-fold increase in speed.

It works almost right, but...

MsVc5 rewrites the ressource file (as it was not created by it)
and I get a lot of strange beheviors. Open dialogs are really
big, it refuses to use the default .ini settings, etc... ?

Does anyone has a version, that fully replaces pvengine.exe,
compiled with options suitable for a pentium 2, and that works
correctly... Or what compiler should I use to compile this
thing right ?


Best,

    S.
