#### Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT

The Windows version runs under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT4 also should run under OS/2 Warp.

Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups are no longer supported however the MS-Dos version will run as a dos application under those operating systems.

Required hardware and software:

Minimum - 486/100 with 16mb RAM and Windows 95.

Disk space - 15 megabytes

Required POV-Ray files:

User archive POVWIN3.EXE - a self-extracting archive containing the program, sample scenes, standard include files and documentation. This file may be split into smaller files for easier downloading. Check the directory of your download or ftp site to see if other files are needed.

Recommended:

Pentium 200 or Pentium II with 32mb and Windows 95 or NT4.

SVGA display preferably with high color or true color ability and drivers installed. (Note: accelerated graphics hardware will not improve performance.)

Optional: The source code is not needed to use POV-Ray. It is provided for the curious and adventurous.

POVWIN_S.ZIP --- The C source code for POV-Ray for Windows. Contains generic parts and Windows specific parts. It does not include sample scenes, standard include files and documentation so you should also get the executable archive as well. POV-Ray can only be compiled using C compilers that create 32-bit Windows applications. We support Watcom 10.5a or higher, Borland 4.52/5.0 compilers.
