Okay, I'll make sure to stick to the 1 POV = 1 metre convention to save
trouble :-)

That's good, because I've got a few of those floating around as well,
although i don't know how well they're going to turn out.

I should be okay with 3.5b8 then - I doubt I'll be using much of the new
feature set, and hopefully what I do use will be the parts that have the
same syntax in 3.5 and MegaPOV.

What would be nice for the website is some indication of what kind of
values the macros will return under certain conditions, when I looked
yesterday there wasn't any - it wouldn't be much good if snowy sculpture
appeared when POV-City thinks it's the middle of summer!
