  The ini file will call DTA at the end of the raytracing process
and depending on the settings you have specified in the .ini file
will compile the animation for you. It basicaly saves you the step
of leaving pov to go to the command line and feeding the instructions
to DTA itself.

  As far as a tutorial on using DTA that is none I have heard of.
If there are some specific questions you have on using the program
I might be able to answer some of them and dearmad is quite knowldegable
where this program is concerned. If you have the newest version of the
program you are probably short on documentation. The older versions
at least had some examples of usage and command line switches. If
this is the case let me know and I'll post a copy of the older version
docs for you to look through. Some of the switches are no longer valid
in the latest version but it will help you understand some of its more
basic features.
