Yes, I understand that, but my question (out of sheer curiosity) was 
what, historically, 'POV-Ray 4' was intended to be. I guess it was the 
next future version of POV, but the newsgroup 'pov4.discussion.general', 
over the years, seems to be filled with unrelated topics. So, I wondered 
how povr and hgpovray38 relate to that mythical pov4? Are they 
intermediary steps or are they the intended as the 'real thing'? Just 
idle questions from a guy who has nothing better to do ;-)
