Choice of archives:

Use the information given here to make a list of the archives you need
before attempting to retrieve any large files. It could save you some
time and money!

Files are listed (and named) in order of relative importance, with the
special exception of archives 'A1'->'A5' which contain the 5 available
executables compiled for the 3 main processor groups (with and without
FPUs). You only need *one* of those to make the POVRay system work!

If you want to download *only* the most important files, you should
chose *one* of the archives from 'A1'->'A5', and archives 'B' & 'C'
which contain the (very important) support files.

That will provide you with the most basic installation which includes
the data files, executable for your processor type, a simple TXT file
version of the manual and the mandatory examples.

If you want a better version of the manual in HTML format (which can
be viewed with CAB) then you should also download archives 'D1'->'D3'.

Archive 'E' can be considered an 'unnecessary extra', but these tools
could prove to be interesting for *some* POVRay users.

]--------------------------------------------------------------------[

Extracting the archives:

When extracting the files, they should all be extracted to the same
place. When you have finished, you should end up with a single
directory 'POVRAY3' with all the relevant subdirectories stored very
nearly inside it. Everything should be in the correct place for a
working POVRay system. You will have to fix the library search paths
in the POVRAY.INI file and set up the POVINI environment variable but
that's about it.

Make sure that you disable ZIP's feature called 'Extract FFF.ZIP in
subdirectory FFF', otherwise you will end up with stacks of folders
with the *wrong* names and it will require a significant amount of
fiddling around to re-position the files.

]--------------------------------------------------------------------[

Notes:

The examples are invaluable while learning to use POVRay 3, and the
package cannot be legally distributed without them (see POVLEGAL.DOC).

]--------------------------------------------------------------------[

Changes:

The main differences between the last release and the new one can be
found in the REVISION.DOC text file, which is stored in archive named
'B' with the other covering documentation.

In my own opinion, there are a sufficient number of improvements,
changes and fixes to merit this re-release on the Atari platform.
