I just tested a POV-RAY scene with my syster's pc the P-75 and it took
35seconds with the dos version of POV-RAY In my P-3 pc takes 2 - 3 seconds
with windows XP runing using a command line dos window.
About making a boot disk with povray.exe "dos" in it forget it
takes to long 3'5 disk are still same speed as 10 years ago so here what we
can do we can use a dos or linux but if is linux it must be like dos or
easyer.
Since is an idea still we'll need a dev team
I whould like to be the leader I'll let anyone
help me/us and I'll acept any idea or suggestion
and last thing the project will be GNU in other
words free, open source.
