POV-Ray 3.5 is *not* MegaPOV, in particular not such an old version of
MegaPOV.  You cannot just copy you scene one to one an expect it to work
exactly the same way.  There might be a million things wrong in your scene and
none has to do with POV-Ray 3.5.  Or you (accidentally) enabled any of a
number of other features in your scene that did not exists or were not enabled
by default in MegaPOV versions or POV-Ray 3.1.
