POVShell is SHAREWARE !
-----------------------

That means you can test the program and give it to friends, but if you use it
regulary you have to pay the shareware fee.
To provide registration incentive, I have changed POVShell in two ways:

Restrictions of the demo version:
---------------------------------

1. At the beginning POVShell shows the information box. You should see that this
   version is the unregistered one.

2. The picture size is limited to 160x100. This should be enough to test all
   of the included functions.

Registration:
-------------

There are two possibilities to register:

1. You have no EMail address or no possibility to get larger EMails via internet
   (i.e. > 16kB).

   European users have too pay $20. None european users $25. Included is one
   disk a padded envelope and postage. The postage is very expensive to none
   european countries.
   Note: Please tell me if you want a DD disk or a HD disk.
   
2. You have an EMail address and no problems to get large uuencoded EMails.

   You have to pay only $15, cause I send POVShell via EMail to you.
   
Note: Please send no check. I have to pay a very high charge for it. You should
      send money or an international money order.

The registered version is unlimited and I will send newer versions to your
EMAIL-address.

Please tell me what kind of Atari do you have, which utilities are installed
(e.g. WinX or MiNT) and which graphic resolution you use most of the time.

Supported programs:
-------------------

- POVShell uses for redirection of the POVRay text output TOS2GEM by Thomas
  Binder.
  Who wants to know more about TOS2GEM and is able to read german should read
  'TOS2GEM.TXT' in directory 'TOS2GEM'.
  I want to thank Thomas for his greatful tool.

- Scrolling with variable speed under WinX is supported.

If I have problems with POVShell or POVRay:
-------------------------------------------

If you have problems with both programs, feel free to write. In this case
it's very important for me to know wich version of POVShell and POVRay you
are using and who has POVRay ported. Therefore you should tell me all
installed (resistant) applications and where the problem occurs.

If there are problems with other programs and they are free available send them
to me with a short description when the error(s) occur(s).

If you want an answer please send some money for stamps.
