Is their an upgrade offer with it?

(Don't forget that Computer Arts is a Future Publising magazine and their
name is mud around here.)

Go to section 8.1 of the POV help file (the legal document bit) and have a
butchers at the 'Revocation of Licence' section.  Interesting reading... :O)

Just take a look at povlegal.doc...

Future Publishing, Ltd. in the United Kingdom, distributed  incomplete

honor these promises. 

There is  evidence that  other Future  Publishing companies  have also
violated our terms. PC  Format's actions, particularly in  relation to
the incomplete  v1.0 distribution  (which simply  didn't work properly
due to  files that  had been  deleted to  fit on  the magazine's cover

headaches.

Wonder what those broken promises were... not that it matters much.

This affected me a while back when I wrote a double page POV tutorial for
PCReview, a UK based PC mag (now defunct, but published by Future
Publishing). The tutorial ran, but without POV on the cover CD, and I
suspect that it was only down to my pointing out to the magazine editor that
Future Publishing were not allowed to distribute POV, that it wasn't put on
the CD AGAIN!

BTW, did anyone actually see that tutorial? It was very basic, but I was
pleased by it. I can't remember offhand which issue it was in, but it was a
couple of years ago.

All the best,

Andy Cocker
