Well, some days I've no problems with my Win98, too. On other occasions I
reboot any few minutes. Most of the time it's not Windows (or even M$) fault
in the first hand, if one don't recommend that an OS should catch all faults
of programmers and does not crash if a third party programmer did not know
what he does - or a user like me :-)
No offence intended BTW. I use all the time myself.

I have tried to use the modeller, but it seems terribly slow. Im' not
sure, but this might have something to do with the fact that it was
programmed in Visual Basic.
I have used Rhino before, so maybe I'm spoiled...

Still, for freeware I think it's pretty good. :)
I like Rhino too but the price tag has kept me from upgrading from the old
(free) version.

It also won't run under Windows 2000 for that matter (since it is the new NT
anyhow).

I have tried 3D Canvas, Not bad. However, I created a bell for a steam
locomotive that I am working on and the resulting POV file created was well
over 15,000 lines. I redid the bell with POVray's lathe in 3 lines.
