Rubbish. Firstly, there's nothing stopping you running POV without using
HTML Help. You just can't use the built-in docs.

Secondly, the 'latest version' of POV-Ray is 3.1g. If you don't like the
way we've released the beta, you are welcome to a full refund. You know
where to go to get it.

PS WRT your comments about WinHelp still being a valid alternative, you
are completely wrong. You have no idea about help authoring or the hassle
that WinHelp is to work with, plus all the major limitations and huge bugs
that are still in it, even after more than ten years.
