POV-Ray for Linux Beta 12, SuSE Linux 7.3, P3 600MHz, 128MB

"povray --help" causes the following output:


use 'povray -h' for a complete list of options.
usage: povray [+/-option ...] [INI_file] +I input_file
               [-display <display_name>] [-title <title>]

It can only be stopped by Ctrl+C.

  Wasn't it in the list of known bugs?

It was in the unconfirmed bug list.
Sorry about this question, but what does "Confirmed by users" mean?

  It means that it has been confirmed by users with enough confidence to
get into the list, but has not yet been handled by the team.

I posted a bug report about another help problem with the unix version and
IIRC Mark acknowledged the presence of a few problems with the help messages
that he is attending too.
