Hi all!

I've made some major changes in the BlockCAD rendering code, drawing lines and
polygons on my own instead of letting Windows do the work.

The effect? On my computer there's a speed gain of 2-10 times (and about 150
times for nice transparency).

You are invited to beta-test it for me, I'm mostly interested in:

Does it work at all?
What computer configuration?
If you have a previous release of BlockCAD, how does the speed compare on your
machine?

The URL is http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/bc3b3.zip and the file will be
available there at least for a week. It is still not official, so there's no
link to it on the Home Page.

Thanks for your assistance,
--
