Chris spoke, matter settled, me happy.
Just back to point out that at least MegaPov and PovMan have the same
issue (can't be launched same time with "clean" 3.1g). Seems fit to me
to add in the new WinPOV 3.5 sources that are to be released, one of
these #error directives to draw patchers's attention on customizing the
main window class name found in PVENGINE.C, just as you people did for
the patcher's name and email address. Perhaps you're way ahead and it's
already there. To answer bob and others about the opportunity of such
issue, IMO when it comes to incorrect behaviour in the multitasking OS,
up to not launching at all (even if only in some particular cases) the
users are entitled to full satisfaction, without having to answer
questions like "whatta heck do you need it for?", especially that the
fix is ridiculously simple and has no side-effects whatsoever (your
favourite prayer here).
Hope I'm not off-topic, since this group is mainly about removing
errors, not putting them in ;)
