SMPOV is a utility that allows POV 3.5/MegaPOV 1.0 render jobs to be split
amongst multiple CPU's - network or local (seems to work even with P-IV
Hyperthreading).

The last SMPOV 3.10 release which is avaiable for download NOW fixes some
topics("Doer error") which appeared when there were mistakes in the
".pov"-file. It could be annoying especially when rendering animations with
hundreds of pictures. Secondly the ability of RenderAgent (the part of SMPOV
which controls POV-Ray) to hide/minimize multiple instances of
POV-Ray/MegaPOV is actually increased to unlimited.

Acually we have 1112 counted downloads from SMPOV, numerous universities,
TV-Stations and users from all continents over the world have been tracked
by the WEB-Log.

Thanks go this time to Rick (http://www.kitty5.com/) and Stefan Persson for
their support and ideas.
More feedback is welcome as well as a short mail with your expriences or
rendering times.
