This archive contains the executable to run Persistance of Vision under NT.
This is *NOT* a MS-DOS 16-bit application but a native 32-bit WinNT console
version (tho it doesn't take advantage of threading, etc..)
Because direct video i/o is NOT allowed under NT, the display option "+d"
has been disable and automatically sets to "-d". I suggest you use the
"+v1" command when rendering.
Included in this little archive is the WinNT version of UNARJ by Robert Jung.
This program will unarchive all ARJ versions upto 2.41. I included because
for some reason I spent all day converting that and POV to native NT console
apps (tell me... was I wasting my time?).
I noticed a 12% speed increase in renderings from MSDOS POV to WINNT POV.
I myself have compiled POV with the -G4 option (optimize for 486's) and
with that I find about a 7.5% speed increase over the 386 NT version. If
you are interested in POV486/NT, give me a yell!!
Thanx and happy rendering!
