Lutz- What exactly are the benefits of registering moray- Do you get to
get the new versions registered, for free? I love moray, but I don't
have $90 to spare, so I am not sure if it's worth registering now, with
POV in turmoil.

This is a fundamental shareware issue here.  Even if the "registration
benefits" are zero, the fee is nevertheless justified, as it pays
for the code you are using, which is initially lent on a trial basis.

If you "don't have $90 to spare", you should delete the code from your
disk.  Or mow some lawns.  Or something.

JMHO....

I don't care about the benifits, so much as whether I have to keep
registering. One benifit, I am sure, is the ability to make large scenes
without being nagged. I was just wondering if there were any other benifits.

I saw a note on http://www.twysted.net/ which stated a new
version was coming soon.... but that was posted awhile
ago.

However, from what I see at:

http://www.stmuc.com/moray/meregi.html

there is no listed fee for upgrading to the new version for
DOS.  Thus if the pattern holds, registration for 3.0 Win
should remain valid for an upgrade to 3.1.

I can make no official statements, though...

What do you mean Pov-Ray's in turmoil?

I mean that povray 3.1 in still in beta stage, and therefore, one
assumes moray will change with the newer version of POV-Ray.
