I have a 2-CPU NT box, and POVWIN3 doesn't use multiple threads to 
render.

What I do manage to do is this:

  * run one copy of POV as a tray icon, doing a batch of files.
  * run a second copy for interactive work.

or, when doing a MASSIVE file, run two copies and split the scene by 
rows.  Actually, use every machine I can get my hands on and run a few 
rows on all of them.
