Description: POVfront is a desktop-based front end for the Persistence of Vision public domain ray-tracer. It provides a convenient WIMP interface to the package, and allows control of all the main features of it. POVfront is freeware. It will run on any Acorn machine running RISC OS, although it has only been tested on RISC OS 3.1. There are no minimum memory requirements, but the POV ray tracer itself probably needs at least 2MB. This release is version 1.20. It is designed to support the RISC OS port of POV on HENSA (a235) at the time of writing, and replaces the now-obsolete previous release (version 1.14).
