This file is called DO-NOT-READ-ME in an attempt to get those who normally ignore README files to read it. Note that over one third of recent tech support queries have been a result of users ignoring README's. Please READ ALL of this file. Persons who want the source code should read ALL of the source section below. This directory contains version 3.02 of POV-Ray for Windows. povwin3.exe is a self-installing executable. Just run it from Windows. There is no need to to put it into a temporary directory. In the 3.02-1/ directory is the same installation as found in the above povwin3.exe file, but split into parts. MAKE SURE you read the README file there before downloading ! To run POV-Ray itself, you'll need Win32s if you have Windows 3.1. Windows 95/NT users don't need this. Win32s is in the file pw1118.exe in this directory. Get the text file to learn how to install it. If you have Windows 3.1 and there is a file called 'win32s.ini' in your windows\system directory, you already have Win32s but it may be an old version. Read pw1118.txt for more information. Source Code The file povwin_s.zip is an OPTIONAL download ; it contains the source code for version 3.01 (NOT 3.02) of POV-Ray for Windows. You do NOT NEED this if you just want to use POV-Ray in the normal manner. If you get it, make sure you read the README.NOW file in the archive if you want to compile your own binary. The source code is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED. Do not write asking for help with it.
