Hi,
The yellow message is still there and Lanuhum architecture is different from
mine, so that I would need to dig into it to understand...
What would you advice I do to adapt the current code?  How should we provide a
cross platform path in our pov files? have them use unix path all allong? so
reverse all the windows paths slashes or use unix paths everywhere?
