Slackware 7 kernel 2.2.14
Windows 98 SE

Yes.

No, but official modes for emacs and nedit would help, especially if
keyboard shourcuts are made to match those in the POV-Ray for Windows
GUI.

No, as long as it's not Gnome/KDE specific.

CodeMax.

HTML, PDF, .hlp . Man is fine but maybe not for a project as large as
POV-Ray.

Dunno. I always get the source and compile it :)

MegaPOV.
