Ahh, that'll be it then.  Thanks for the clarification :)

3.1g Windows source is available, but I'm not sure it was ever 
announced.

From the FTP site:

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
[...]
-rw-r--r--   1 povteam  team      5203586 Jul  6 23:54 povwin3.exe
-rw-r--r--   1 povteam  team      1472833 Aug 28 11:41 povwin_s.zip
[...]

Note that the date is after the date of the 3.1g executable.  If you
download it, you should find that it's the 3.1g code (I did, and it is.)

I announced it on Aug, 28, 1999 in the programming group where upon you
informed me that both the SuperPatch and UVPov were both based upon the
source for v3.1g where upon I then said "Arf garble hendershnap @#$?!!!"
and you then replied "Exactly".

Actually, I believe I informed you that they both worked with the 3.1g 
editor, despite being based on 3.1a or 3.1d Windows source, though upon
reading my post now I see that that might not have been clear. The last 
superpatch is still based on 3.1d source, too, though I've had the 3.1g 
public source for a while now.

You can tell an unofficial 3.1g build from any other build because by 
default the icon is cyan instead of white.
