Hi All,
Just thought I'd send this out. I'm sure most of you know this but for those
who don't it is a huge disk space and upload/download time saver.

By adding "+FN" to the POV or MegaPOV command line or click on the big "INI"
button in the Windows interface and add it to the "Command line options"
text box, it will save the rendered bitmaps as .PNG files instead of .BMP
files which are un compressed and typically huge.

The .PNG is great because it is a 24 bit format that uses loss-less
compression which means no quality/generation degradation.

Here's a web site that talks about PNG

Hey, thanks for that tip! My BMP files don't live long anyway, I convert
them to PNG right away, but it saves on hard disk thrashing.
