Aside from fonts and being able to use bold/italics and the X
clipboard, I don't think so.

For povray-rendering i like linux more than windows
(i have just installed a little pov-ray render station on our home-server)
but the GUI for the windows version is still unbeaten.

I prefer Emacs with the syntax hilighting in tandem with my own util PovMenu.
You can d/l PovMenu from my web page at:
http://www.zeropps.uklinux.net/linstuff.html#POVMENU
There's a screenshot there too.

X clipboard? C-SPC C-a M-w
...and then Hyper-TAB to a gnome-terminal and pressing the middle
mouse button gives me
ole: ~$ X clipboard?
That is with FSF Emacs 20.7. Also Emacs is actually capable of using
some sort of italics, though it surely doesn't look nice.
I can't wait to get my hands on Emacs 21.

Let me throw in my vote for editing POV files with gvim, which stays on
POVray color syntax.
I've deleted my Windows partition altogether ("I've deleted my Windows
partition..." any "Airplane" fans out there?)

Do you by any chance have an up-to-date version of pov.vim?

There's an updated one in Vim 5.8. I have not looked at it
closely, so I can't tell if it has been updated that
much. It seems to be better than the previous one, though.
You can download this file directly from www.vim.org if you
prefer not to upgrade, though there's no reason not to
upgrade. Vim 5.8 is a bugfix release only.

No, I doubt it. In fact, I'm not even certain what that is! I'm not
one of those users who spends half his computer time keeping his system
absolutely cutting-edge. My distribution is Libranet Linux, which is a
desktop-oriented dist. based on Debian (www.libranet.com, if interested,
but didn't you just install Slackware 8.0? I suppose you're not shopping
for a new dist.) and it's not even Libranet's latest version. But it
has all I need so I haven't messed with it any.
One day I just discovered that gvim had Povray syntax highlighting
(although I've noticed a peculiar phenom. which no one has really solved
-- the colors of the highlighting are differenet depending on whether
gvim is started from an xterm or from the GUI menu.) and I've never
given a second thought to changing any settings.
What IS pov.vim?
Thanks,
Mark

I know. I built 5.8.3 from source and made it into a package. I have
custom-made almost all my Slackware packages since I got the disks a
few days ago. They reside in a directory called petrox, which is the
way I will call the Slack-based distro I am preparing for my own needs
:)

What kind of difference? Completely different, or some
colors changing a bit?
It might be due to the 'background' option. Type
:set background?
and see if it has the same values from the GUI menu and
from the xterm.
> What IS pov.vim?
It is the file responsible for POV syntax highlighting. It lists
the keywords and lots of other rules to highlight numbers, strings,
directives and such. It is written in "Vim script", that explains
the .vim extension. See the "syntax" subdirectory in
/usr/share/vim/vim5.x (or wherever Libranet put it).
Most syntax files are made by users. The "old" pov.vim (vim 5.7
and earlier) had a basic, quickly-made POV syntax file. The "new"
pov.vim (vim 5.8 and later) seems to be better. I had began my
own syntax file but have stopped it when the "new" one was
released. I might rework on it though, because I think mine is
a bit better... :-)
And as I said, you're not obliged to upgrade your whole gvim
package. The Vim site has somewhere a list of all syntax files,
and you can download an up-to-date pov.vim there (well, I hope
so).
