I was wondering if anyone can explain why programs such as
POV Ray only work on Qx0 machines. I can see that the
colours would be incorrect on other platforms such as QPC,
but don't understand why they refuse to run. With all this
talk of maintaining OS compatibility on different platforms
it
Malcom,
I normally use POV with QPC and Q60 and there is
nothing strange , POV works great with both platform.
I am just collecting a lot of wonderfull images and
soon or later I will distribute it, the pity is that
to render a complex image is taking a lot of time (10
to 30 hours).

Mainly because they check whether they ARE running on such a machine, and, when not, just give up.
The reason:
The Qx0 on the one side, and
POV does NOT write directly to the screen, it open a
scr channel and write there, does not write directly
to the screen location !!
You do not have to do basically nothing different to
have POV working on QPC or on Q60 , I doubt you have
an old version.
This is my setup :
- SETENV
