And never forget to mention which beta you are talking about and on 
which platform. There is no "Pov-Ray 3.6 beta", but "Pov-Ray 3.6 for 
Windows beta 1", ...beta 2 etc. And actually you should allways be 
talking only about the latest beta - in this case you don't seem to be 
aware of the beta 3 and you are still using some older beta. Bug reports 
of expired betas only cause harm to developers as you probably now 
notice. Had you not "hacked" it/system time you would not be reporting 
bugs of old versions. I'm very glad the executables _do_ expire...

It should also be mentioned which Windows you are using: 3.1, 95, 98, 
2000, XP. I also think that bug reports of beta versions should be 
posted to .beta-test, not to .bugreports which is moderated (or here).
