	I do not understand what you are trying to say. If you are
trying to create a POV output with a transparent background, an
interesting project but there are cheap to free utilities that
will do that for you. 

	Personally I can not imagine how any POV output could include a
transparent background after converted to GIF. I would say
impossible but that is a dangerous thing to say. But the
transparent color is an entry in the table header to the GIF
file. I know of no format conversion program that preserves and
translates it.
