But this is 'povray.programming' group.

If POVRAY could be outdated, slow and not efficent why manufacturers use it to
proof their computers/processors are fast ? What happened with that code
delivered from Intel and introduced in 3.5 ?

Can you start scripts from Corel to achive something on Amiga without
additional tools ? Would it be possible to create macro by macro online ?

Would it be safe to start compiled plugin ? Can you promise nobody would use
it for viruses ? If you can write plugin in Pascal/C why can't you write it as
separate application for your own and it put it in Tools menu of POV-Ray. It
can ask you for inputs and put output in Clipboard so you can put it into POV
editor with simple Ctrl+V.

Note we are here platform independant community. I know what OS use Warp only
becouse of off-topic group, and I know what OS use Christopher James Huff
becouse he had site with mac in url, but for example I never know what OS
currently use Christoph Hormann or Peter Popov becouse I don't need to know.
We can share our knowledges and sources becouse povray is _well_written_
platform independant application. I recently counted 3.5 was sucesfully
compiled with about 7 compilers on different platforms and I have two next to
try.

Note also plugin idea is not new as mentioned earlier. Look what this funny :)

And you know what ? He is now in povray team and he still not introduced
pluging system. He must be just lazy.... ;-)
