But beta time is over for a week... Don't you have the final version?

Yes, see this cite from Lutz on 01-16-00:

Hmmm. Depends on how you define safe.

By default they use the same registry branch, which means that things
will mess up (for example, you'll be asked to configure POV-Ray every
time you switch version).

It will probably work if you make Moray 3.2 use a different registry
branch. You can do this by editing the RegistryBase key in MORAY.INI
and making a new branc.. No guarantees though. And if you're not
comfortable with editing the registry, I'd recommend against it<g>.

Yes, I think so.

There should no serious bugs left in this version (famous last words,
I know<g>). And if there are I can always make a new exe available....

I wouldn't recommend it, but it's your choice of course...
