This is a good idea.  The way I read the legal doc was that you
were not allowed to use the source except in custom/unsupported
builds of PoV.  I figured if I built a stand-alone ActiveX control and
then distributed the code/control with the necessary legal notices
it was OK.

POVLEGAL.DOC should be updated as you said to include static/
run-time linking of PoV.

I will then change my way of implementing this connection- for fun, but
maybe for release which just runs a minimized process that I communicate
with.  Much like the Windows version does, but without the GUI frontend-
just a Win32 console based app that can display the necessary legal
info on startup.  I know the future version will have this capability, but
I'm just doing it to learn.
