There is an email link with the animation on my page - perhaps it is the
wrong address?

As for the problem with the Spline include file - this is simply because it
was designed for POV-Ray 3.0, which did not require semi-colons after
declarations of floats and vectors.  This also means that it is inefficient
by the standards of POV-Ray 3.1 (it uses neither macros nor arrays), and
desperately in need of an update.

The good news is that the updated file itself has been finished for quite
some time, and I am currently working on examples and documentation so
others can make sense of it!  These newsgroups will be notified when the
file is released.

In the meantime, you can use the existing Spline include file by following
the instructions on my page (under Other includes), or perhaps you could
look at using one of the custom versions of POV-Ray that support splines.
