- Short: Watcom C compiled version of POV2.2
- Type: pbin/pc

- This is the Watcom C compiled version of POV-Ray 2.2, it replaces the
- wccpov.zip file I uploaded a few days ago, which was fully functional,
- but I had forgotten to change the "FILL IN YOUR NAME....." in first
- few lines POV-Ray outputs to my E-mail address and name. I have been
- told that the POV-Ray team dislikes such copies and that's why I
- release this version.
-
- Besides that, I have included the file POVLEGAL.DOC into the archive,
- which is a good thing according the the POV-Ray team. I'm sorry for
- your inconvenience.
-
- Now the informations from the old wccpov file. It's a Watcom C compiled
- version of POV-Ray 2.2, which was about 40-50% faster than the Intel
- Code Builder version from the POV-Ray team with everything I tested.
-
- However, it's slower than the GNU C version I uploaded, too, but that
- version (the GNU C one) supports only VESA true color video modes. So
- you may want to choose this version, although it is slower. It's not
- that much slower, you should try both and then decide which one you
- like. Your mileage may vary. I have been told that there are cases where
- the Intel Code Builder version is faster than Watcom C (but I can't
- believe that...).
