i installed 3.6 - sorry i guess i didn't make that clear - when you instal
3.6 (i've never installed POV before) megapov .7 is there along with the
regular pov executable in the bin folder

nowhere is there a file named "readme" even though megapov .7 says to read
the "readme" about how to properly instal pov - and in spite of the fact
that pov 3.6 has been installed correctly, including the home entry in the
registry

i did go get megapov 1.0 and it was only then that i found a file named
"readme" - it was of little use since pov 3.6 was correctly installed in
the first place

thinking that perhaps megapov .7 didn't know about pov version 3.6, i
swapped its executable for that of 1.0 - that didn't work either - the only
thing i have not done is to directly check the registry but have instead
taken the installers' log at its word - messing about in the registry is
beyond my skill level

pov 3.6 runs just fine but i was hoping for something a little less like
programming - i am of a more artistic temperment and i do better when there
is a little 'padding' between me and the machine

thanks
