Hi A C C,

I apologize for the delay in responding to this!  Somehow I didn't see this

The problem is that there are no commas between the two points specified in
the Box primitive.  That the error was nondescriptive is something I am
fixing (with many other things) in the upcoming version.

pov2mesh is still very much in development and its home is

My new blog concerning (in part) pov2mesh and other elements of software and
game development is at http://senzee.blogspot.com/.
