I do. I imagine that there would be several others as well. I also use
the Windows version, but if I need to squeeze the most out of my
available system resources, then the DOS version is my choice. There
have been several scenes that I could render with the DOS version
entirely in RAM, while the WIN95 version went into swap quite early.
This isn't a problem with POV, of course, but a characteristic of
using WIN95. DOS simply demands far less of my computer's resources,
which leaves more for POV-Ray.

I hope there will always be a DOS version of POV-Ray. I also hope that
it never gets to be a neglected orphan.

Later,
