Yeah, I used to love FORM. I posted an image here in binaries.images that I made with
it.
Here's the link:

From memory, Ken is correct in saying that you need to use -pov on the command line (I
think
there are other POV related options). All the info you need is in the included doc
files.
IIRC, the windows version is basically a way of visualising FORM mutations, using
different
seeds. You can configure the window to display up to 9 FORM's. Click on the one you
like, and
you can save it (as a FORM file), or set that one to be the parent, from which
children will
mutate. You can't actually output POV code from the Win version. You have to use the
method
described above.

All the best,

Andy Cocker
