MegaPOV 1.0 - README (Unix source version)

General information:
--------------------

MegaPOV is a collection of unofficial extensions for the freeware
raytracer POV-Ray.  It is maintained by a group of POV-Community
members - the MegaPOV Team.  Up-to-date versions and information can
be obtained at the MegaPOV website:

http://megapov.inetart.net/

This package contains all files that are necessary to run MegaPOV
in addition to the offical POV-Ray distribution.  If you do not
already have a version of POV-Ray installed you have to get one from
the POV-Ray website:

http://www.povray.org/

otherwise MegaPOV won't function correctly!

If you would like the MegaPOV Documentation in a different format than
it is supplied in this package you can obtain it separately in a
different form at the MegaPOV website.

All further information about using MegaPOV can be found in the
Documentation.

For the conditions for using POV-Ray and modified versions you should
have a look at the POV-Ray license (povlegal.doc) that is included in
this package.

This is a unofficial custom version of POV-Ray in terms of this document.
The POV-Ray Team is not responsible for supporting it.
