I just posted this question about the patches not working in conjunction
with the new 3.1e. I was hopeful there was an answer here that didn't
mean changing the registry or cmedit.dll back and forth.
Oh well, at least I found the registry entry in need of modification so
I could save new pov scripts into the scenes folder instead of
C:\WINDOWS.
At least I'm hoping so, I will need to restart Windows first to be sure
of that.
I tried the exchange of the two different cmedit.dlls using a batch
file, goes okay. Better that than registry changes.
