My goal is  placing a text object on a predifined curve (or object)
and I want POV to do all the calculations needed to do that. I've
posted a gif file FLEXICYBER.GIF in the images group to show wath i'm
trying to do. Each letter is one text object and placed (and
calculated) manually. My goal is to make the word one object and to
let POV do all the calculations and placement.
