I had another look at the Windows/Linux documentation on what might cause
most of the trouble in Netscape 4 and IE 3 displaying the files.

It seems the major problem are the incorrectly closed tags for anchors and
paragraphs.  Here is a corrected example from 'povdoc_003.html' that works
much better with both browsers.

<div class="divh4">
<a name="target_4"></a>
<h4>1.1.2.1  ... And What Is It Not?</h4>
<p>
POV-Ray for Windows is not a modeller. It will not let you design scenes
graphically
on-screen. There are several shareware and freeware programs available for
this purpose. To
write or modify POV-Ray scenes you just edit the actual text file
containing the commands.
</p>
<p>
New users might be surprised to learn that, although this <i>sounds</i>
primitive, it is in
fact one of the things that gives POV-Ray so much power and flexibility.
There are many other
rendering programs that give you a point-and-click interface, but when it
comes down to absolute
control of your scene, it's hard to beat a text-based scene description
language (even though
it's harder for some to learn).
</p>
</div>

The paragraph tags only seem wrong in some of the files, but the anchors
are incomplete throughout the docs, i suppose it won't be that difficult
to modify the script for correcting this.
