Hi, I am a POV newer. English is not my mother tongue.
I saw the menu of POV-Win "Render->Animation->Minimize Shellouts".
I can't configure this word "Shell-out".
It sounds like that run a program background in dos mode. Is it right?
And does it have any relation with "Animation"?

Thanks for your help.

Chung.

Yes you are right.  A shell-out is a command to run another program.
This can be used to convert TGAs to GIFs and to compile the final
animation.
