Don't know what exactly you mean. I use CW 6.2 and I simply had to move
the sources to a standard c++ console carbon project. I had to change
some struct members name's (true and false) and add one or two includes.

Compiling the renderer was not a problem at all, only a few minor
changes because I use a c++ compiler for my MegaPOV versions. This
compiler is not as easy going as the c compiler :-)

The program povslc? Normaly it should run onder OS X but I didn't test
it.
Or are you refering to a unix renderer for os X? You realy want a
command line version? Well, somewhere there is such a version available
but I don't know where. I had it for a short time but the author himself
was happy that I made a carbon port of MegaPOV because the unix version
was 2.5 times slower. Not hard to find the reason.... (don't hit me :-)
... he used gnu c. Rumour goes that OS X was build using gnu c and
therefore I can easely understand why it is so slow... This is my
opinion, I don't realy want to start a discussion on this toppic because
it would never end and everyone would be right ;-) Simply the fact that
gcc is free is a good argument to use it for some people. After all, CW
is very, very expensive and it isn't bugfree either!
