It has been a LONG time since the last release, when does a new realease
come? Are there any Beta version?
A new POV-Ray that supports the new things in AMD Athlon and Intel Pentium
4!

I'd like to remain that POV-Ray is meant to be PORTABLE.
If you want to use CPU specific instructions, it should be
done by the COMPILER/OPTIMIZER for that CPU, not the source code.

It sounds like intel is going to do their own compile, optimized for the pentium
4. Well for linux anyway. A friend called me from intel the other day, and was
telling me about how incredible the processor was on software optimized for it.
Maybe AMD will take notice.

What's going on with people? Someone asks this every three days now.
Can't they just read the other posts on the topic?

I _hope_ that it's not the official version! I'm still stuck with a k6-233!
(And I remember thinking this machine was so fast I'd never be able to make a
scene that would take more than 24hrs... wow, was I naive back then or what?
Of course, I _had_ been using a 486SX - SX as in, no FPU. But, we don't
really need to get people started reminiscing about the slow traces of their
youth, now do we? :)

You mean, like the ray-tracer I wrote in QBASIC?

That sounds interesting. Do you have it for download or can you e-mail it to
me by any chance. I'd love to see it.
Thanks

'Fraid I don't have it. I wrote it around six years ago. It only
did spheres and one light source. I lost the source in a hard drive
crash sometime during '98.

Hehe. Like my raytracer on my TI-92+
Nothing like B&W raytracing I say!
