If I compile the "pvengine" workshop using Visual C++ 4.0 or 5.0 the
editor tabs with names (for example Messages, Untitled and others) look
distorted.
If I compile it with Borland 5.2 my tabs look very well. What shall I do
to compile it using Visual C++?
Thank you very much for helping me!

Change the code in PVTEXT.C (function 'initialise_tabbed_window ()' and comment
out the bit that sets the font (it's at the end of the function). That should
fix it (I hope).

It worked for me, and that had been bugging me for awhile. Although I'm not
currently making any additions to POV-Ray, it's nice to finally be able to compile
the source. The only downside is that I did a few tests and the VC++ compile is a
lot slower : (
Now can anyone help me make any sense of this stuff! (hee hee)

Now that you have a compile in Visual C++, it would be easy to split the
final image render into 2 threads so that it takes advantage of dual
processor machines like mine. I would be interested in trying it out for
you. My computer is a dual Pentium Pro 200 and I have been looking for
someone to do a recompile so that POV_Ray runs multi-threaded.
To increase the speed you might want to take a look at the PovPro readme
file. Vadim lists a few things that he identified to speed up the program
execution. If you don't have it, I can send it to you.
