The result of following my instructions is to port Pov to the Win32 console 
platform.  Win32 console apps cannot generate splash screens.  The only 
requirements in Povlegal for presenting the credits in text-based ports is 
that the credits screen is left intact.  Unless you are arguing that it is 
illegal to port Povray to any command-line platform, I see no reason that a 
Win32 console port would be illegal.
