You guys ought to love this one... I need a copy of POV-Ray,
any version, for the Apple IIgs. I understand that the source code
is quite modular, but I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge of
modifying it all. Is the source anywhere near ANSI compliant,
excepting, of course, for the display routines? Better yet, I
am told that there are several pre-compiled "off colour" flavours
available, but this is one I just can't find. Any advice would
be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, tell me if I am wrong. The Apple IIgs is one of the older
68K based macintoshes? In that case you should be able to use
the official 68K version of povray for macintosh'es. Check povray's
homepage at: www.povray.org
Regarding the sourcecode I can only say that it is very portable,
the official macintosh version of the sources (ie, with a GUI)
compiles easily under MPW, and the source's is even readable. Even
better than some of my own sources. (I assume that everyone always
favirises their own way of making comments,abstractions etc...)

Actually, the IIGS is not a macintosh. It was made BEFORE the macintosh,
AFAIK... I remember using them in school. I'm not sure if it can be done, as
the IIGS doesn't have a Math co-processor...
I could be wrong tho...

So, if it's an older (and slower?) machine than the first mac, running
povray in it will be a real pain :)
I have used povray in a 386 without math co-processor. It really was a
pain :)

IIRC, the Apple II series was a 8 bit machine with about 48K of ram
installed. It will take a long time to produce an image using that system,
assuming that you can get the code small enough to fit in memory.

I think he should buy a used 486 system. If you shop around you
should be able to get one dirt cheap (I am still using a 486 machine
at home, it runs at 100 MHz (25 MHz DX4) and has 64 MB RAM, but it
is still a 486) and even though the new Pentium II are getting really
cheap now I still want to wait. At work they are just about throwing
out the old 486's. If he keeps his ears open he might pick up one for
dirt cheap. It would certainly be better than trying to port (and use)
POV-Ray to an old Apple IIRC... IMHO

The //gs was the last Apple II made. It featured a 65C02
microprocessor, and it might have been able to address 128K or more of
RAM. Still, POV on that thing, if you could get it running, would be
like watching paint dry. POV on my old 68K Amiga was bad enough.
Suggestion: find a good, used 286. It'll run rings around a //gs and
cost next to nothing.

Well, he could always use the tape drive for swap :) :) :)

Ah, but you see, tape is not a random access device, and besides would'nt he have to
manually rewind and play the tape? Should be fun, and much more exciting than watching
paint dry(see other post...). But in all seriousness, if he really wanted to have a
second
Cheers, Matthew
P.S. Maybe he's a uni student and some weird and twisted professor decided to make the
class write demo's for the Apple II...just a thought.

Just a minor clarification. Yes, the Apple II's were 8-bit, but the IIgs
used the 16-bit version of the 6502 (I've been told it's basically the
same processor as in the Super NES).
Still a weeeee bit pokey.
