I found some weird behavior last night.
I had WinPov 3.1b6 open and tried to open 3.02 to compare something.
It appeared that 3.02 would open and then immediatly close. I did not
see any windows, just the box on the taskbar open then close.
If 3.02 is open I can start 3.1b6 with no problems. 
Both are in separate directories.
Again: Can open 3.02 then 3.1b6.
Can not open 3.1b6 then 3.02.

Any Ideas?
I have PII 400 with Win95c.

  If you have "keep single instance" marked in the options menu you
cannot open more than one session of POV-Ray.
Uncheck it and try again.

DO'H!	Good catch Ken.
That's what it was.
