Application.UpdateFormatSettings, that's a new one for me. Thanks I will
use this for beta 2.
I indeed wait for ever for l3p and other external applications to exit,
I was already thinking about using a controllable time-out or a thread
for the l3p part but the pov-ray part could take days for real, and that
part is going to change (I really want a single call) so I look into
that later.
I really appreciate your comments.
