(The above was a response to my query for DBW_render for Unix
BSD 4.2-4.3.)
Never tried it out that much yet, I guess - no floating point
problems yet. As for why not wanting to use DKBtrace etc.: I
just got nice images out of DBW_render, so I wanted to try it
out on a bigger, faster Unix system than my lowly 80286-based
PC. The query still is valid: anyone had luck in compiling
DBW_render for Unix BSD 4.2-4.3? The ones I tried either
didn't compile or died with a `floating point exception' when
run.
