    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Ok. youhave compleet my attention :)
      designed the 6x6 anyway for square.<br>
       only hope a var can handle right 330.000 prims. thats what i
      calculated as estimated max. only allow 15K / region.<br>
      it would anyway solve lots of verhicle headaces with simborders. <br>
      Its because im just still working on setting up stuff. but its
      something else i need to test !<br>
      <br>
      Get a bit happy feeling... :)<br>

                                <div>As some of you know, I've taken on
                                  the task of porting the Aurora

                                  OpenSimulator.
                                  <div><br>
                                  </div>
                                  <div>The port uses the Aurora's
                                    protocol extensions so the existing
                                    Firestorm and Singularity Aurora
                                    Support will work for OpenSimulator.
                                    The larger regions size will be
                                    restricted to multiples of 256
                                    meters and adjacent regions (the
                                    ability to have other regions
                                    spacially next to larger regions)
                                    will not be implemented.
                                    Additionally, the large regions must
                                    be square.</div>
                                  <div><br>

                                  <div>All of the code is in the

                                    OpenSimulator git repository. The
                                    implementation is downward
                                    compatible in that all existing
                                    256x256 region functionality will
                                    continue to work. Things like
                                    storing terrain information in the

                                    region. The raised area in one
                                    corner of the large region is the
                                    standard 256x256 region size. The
                                    viewer is the latest Singularity
