Yes, it's true. More than 10 Library_Path= lines works. I just had to test
this out to be positive. I created 12 new folders each with it's own
include file containing a 'text' statement of the numbers 1 thru 12 and
then forgot I had to also have the path to my fonts as well so they
totaled 13 in all. POV-Ray 3.1e has no problem using that many and I was
thinking I had heard 20 was the new limit, however I'm satisfied with the
13 paths possible so far. Oh, and no restarting of POV-Ray either, just
the saving of Povray.ini does fine.
