That is why I asked for some appearance of new benchmark in povray.general

This interpretation was switched in some previous beta. I remember becouse I
changed it in my sig. So does it mean it'll change back in next beta?

I meanwhile have a working script for rendering the images including an
adapted Images.ini and Images.pov, if you tell me about the formating of
the HTML file you want to have i can also make a new version of it.

It renders ok in WinPOV beta 9.

No, '&' and '|' will have boolean meaning in the future (just like in
#if's etc.) so you will have to use min()/max() for CSG in the future.
(sorry for your .sig ;-))

      Sorry, but I don't understand what is the 'insert menu' ?

The insert menu (called 'templates' in the mac version i think) is a
collection of code snippets available in form of a menu in the windows
version.  It includes illustrating pictures.  Follow the link in my other
posting to see it.

Why not Slackware packages too? :-)

Send me what you have, and I'll reformat as needed.

I have Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, and Debian available to me.  I don't have
Slackware available.  I can look into it, but it's not going to be
terribly soon, and I'm not going to make any promises.  In my experience,
most Slackware users prefer to build from source, which both simplifies
things (gives me an excuse to ask Slackware users to build from source)
and complicates things (since I don't know what versions of shared
libraries are going to be installed on a given user's Slackware box,
meaning that I'm pretty much stuck statically linking, something I try to
avoid whenever possible).

I can look into doing that but it won't be for that beta. Don't take
this a as promise as my exams are coming up soon. I'll also have to
sync it with Mark in terms of sources etc.
