No thanks!
There's nothing wrong with the winpov keyboard shortcuts. The only problem
is that some of the shortcuts have already a 'standard' meaning in emacs
and I would not like to have different shortcuts depending on the mode.

Why not?
I think a C compiler is as large or even larger than povray and man pages
exist for all its libraries. Not to talk about C++...
Personally I would find it easier to type 'man sphere' than searching in
a pdf file.

You can configure emacs to do this (actually I have it configured that way).
Actually it's very simple. Add this line to your .emacs:
(pc-selection-mode)
It may only work in X, though (vt100 emulation does not support
shift+cursors).
You can also configure emacs to do a lot more (but it's far from easy).

I only mean Alt-G and Alt-C, actually. I rarely use other shortcuts of
the wrapper.

Me too, but how should one overcome the problem with existing man
topics? There's probably no 'sphere' keyword in C++ but how about
#ifdef, for example. or array (in Pascal anyway) or #open?

Not really a big deal for me, although it would make things a bit more

Again, not such a big deal. There are several good editors already available,
although I do prefer the built-in editor of POVWin. Maybe it would suffice to
have officially supported language plugins for some editors...

I don't like Tcl/Tk, had some problems with it in the past. I'd prefer a gtk+
frontend, but would it be portable enough?

RedHat 6.1 and 6.2, and will be using MPIPov here shortly when I finish
my cluster.

The few times I've used POV-Ray under Windows the GUI actually hindered
me more than helped. Way too much switching back and forth between my
editor and the GUI. The only reason I used the GUI was for the
rendering display in the window, and x-povray has that.
> 3) Would you want such a front-end to have a built-in editor?
I wouldn't use it were it included.

If there were a front end, I'd rather see it in something less
distribution-specific, such as Perl/Tk (my personal choice). As soon as
you start building it for Gnome or KDE, people who don't use those
systems might be alienated.
> 5) What editor do you use for editing .pov files?
vi all the way -- same editor I use for everything from Perl code to
college papers.

I'm actually pretty happy with ASCII text -- it's very easy to search
and I don't have to jump around to a lot of different files or bring up
a separate viewer (such as Netscape or Acrobat)
> 7) What sort of package management do you prefer for precompiled

Although I use RedHat, it doesn't matter to me. The way it's packaged
now works fine, and isn't distro-specific like an .rpm or .dep would be.

I've just started with MegaPov, and have been looking for something like
photons for quite a while (to realize my dream of raytracing a disco
ball! :). And as I said above, I'll probably start using MPIPov when I
get my cluster going. Now, if only there were a MPI-MegaPov...
Also, thanks for asking -- I'm glad to see Unix being persued as a
viable platform for software such as this!

There are already multiple meanings for some functions/keywords. For
example 'read' is a unix shell command, a C standard function and a
Tcl built-in command. All of them have a man page here.
Different meanings have different sections: "man -s 1 open" gives the
help for the shell command, "man -s 2 open" gives the help for the C function,
"man -s n open" gives the help for the Tcl command.

Thanks this works, shame it won't work in an xterm, but maybe I can
make some changes to the way my xterms (rxvt) is set up to allow it to
work, emacs could well be my new editor of choice.

If you so want, as long as the CLI version is still in place. FreeBSD
would be useful, as an X display
