Thank you very much for replying!

I'm starting to get really frustrated about my array-macro-problems.

Do you recommend that I use some other compiled copy of POV-Ray?
Is there any non official compiled copies available?

Or should I try to compile one myself?

Is DJGPP capable of compiling for Windows NT (and Windows 98) and
would you recommend it?

And if it shows up to really be a compiler problem, do you think there will be
made any new official copies of v3.1g ? ... Soon ?
