Because we did not just wait two years for MegaPOV to come along so we could

Yes, you need a C++ compiler now.

(Not just to you)
Also, keep the "POV-Team Status Report - September 1, 2000" in

implemented independantly was better than what you did?


BTW, this is the kind of discussion on POV 3.5 that I was waiting for. I'm
very happy. :)

stuck in my head.  I let the Smellenbergh brothers know that they can add
glows to MegaPov 0.6 if they want to.  :-)
