LOL!  

I think it taught me too much patience.  Last night I let a picture
parse for about half an hour before I realized I had an infinite loop.

Having previously worked in several software houses, I think that the
team has done a brilliant job of hitting their software deadline 17
times, and only missing by one day once. We used to miss about half of
our software deadlines. There'd be somebody who decided to put in a tiny
last minute change that caused the entire package to fail to compile
correctly.

Yes, the POV-Team is pretty darn good at what they do. There's no
question about that. I just wish that the quality level of POV would
somehow rub off on the quality level of the operating system I use to
run it.  :)

Later,
Glen

I really needed to get some certain code that I am awaiting into this RC, as
the time for testing is running out, and this code needs to be well-tested.

The folks supplying the code initial promised it early Monday (my time), and
then that slipped, and it slipped again, and finally we decided to just release
the RC without the code.

When it turns up I'll make an EXE-only release with it built in, and just
hope enough folks download it to make it well-tested before the next RC.
