This is the GNU C compiled version of POV-Ray 2.2, it replaces the
turbopov.zip file I uploaded a few days ago, which was fully functional,
but I had forgotten to include the POVLEGAL.DOC file in 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 turbopov file. It's a GNU C compiled
version of POV-Ray 2.2, which was about 50-60% faster than the Intel
Code Builder version from the POV-Ray team with everything I tested.
It's faster than the Watcom C executable, but it can only display in
VESA true color video modes. If you don't have VESA true color, you
may want to use the Watcom C version. That's why I uploaded it, too.

By the way: I have seen this relation on every location I tested it.
Other compiler < Watcom C < GNU C
"<" means "produces worse code than"
So if you want good code, it's not only a question of price (GNU C is free),
it's a question of quality, too. Once you learn how to use it, it's the
best choice. Praise the GNU project ! ;)
