Changes include:
- - no more hogging of cpu when idle (yes, you now have all your horsepower
for POV ;-)
- - Starts under all visuals with >=8 bpp (formerly did start only under 8 bpp)
- - fixes a bug with translation of polywalls

Title: mnmlinux-pl2.tgz
Version: 96-01-09
Entered-date: 09JANUARY96
Description: Midnight Modeller (MNM) is a GUI based interface
for the POV 2.x raytracer. MNM features a ACAD style
user interface (it's not a bug, it's a feature ;-)
and supports complex surface creations, nested CSGs,
layers, import/export of DXF and RAW files, shaded
previews, nearly full control over the POV textures,
interactive panning/rotating/zooming, and more...
*** The POV RAYTRACER is REQUIRED ***
This latest patch-release fixes the Polywall-translation
bug, drastically reduces CPU-time hogging, and features
true-colour visuals.
