I just learning C++. I'm using one of my old Qbasic programs I wrote to make
polygons and prisms as a guide. I'm turning it into a windows 98 program.

I like the old qbasic program, I still use it from time to time. The only reason
I've haven't released it is that it's locked into using certain directories for
file storage. This new version will correct that.

Is there any interest in this program?

And what kind of  file format  would be best?
By 'file format' I mean the way POV reads the prism/polygon file. Maybe an
example would be better.

Pov file:                                          Prism file:
#include "name.prm"                #declare Thing= prism{...}
object{Thing ...}

OR

Pov file:                                                 Prism file:
object{#include "name.prm" ...}         prism{....}

Or should my program be able to do both?

All my old files are in the first format. If there is enough interest in the
second format I'll go that rout, then convert all my old Pov's as needed.

Have Fun!
