Well, if I can put up with the six fans in my computer...

What code needs adding to allow that?

I assume save_file the first time and load_file when the render is
continued. Anything else?

I really want to render a bigger version of a scene I've got with radiosity,
but I estimate rendering time of over 50 hours

An iMac has no fan at all and they don't overhead either...

Yeah, that should do the trick. The other radiosity settings (including
pretrace_start & pretrace_end) should stay the same for best results.

Yes, an iMac runs POV, ya schmucks.

It would run Moray if the the coders weren't too lazy or too incompetent
to write a Mac version.

Or if they had the time, tools, and knowledge to do so...programming 
isn't always easy, and learning to program for a new platform is a lot 
of work.
Anyway, we have plenty of free and shareware modellers. From what I saw 
of Moray(running it in emulation under SoftWindows), there wasn't much 
special about it except POV output and mostly POV-specific features. And 
besides, would a Mac version of Moray be any good? Mac ports of PC 
software often aren't, especially when ported by someone new to 
programming Macs and who doesn't actually use Macs.
Hmm, maybe my next Cocoa project should be a simple POV modeller for OS 
X...with a scripting language, of course. :-)

I know. I'm just mocking the poster for giving us the nth iteration of
"hmph, Macs! Do they even run any software?".

  Okay, be nice now :) Lutz is neither lazy nor incompetent but if he
chooses to devote his time to a Windows-based modeller then that is his
choice to make. Lutz is also a longtime POV-Team member.
