Have not tried this FOR thing yet, but mentioning 'cmd.exe' triggered a 
solution for my problem.

Post_Frame_Command=ppmquant -fs 256 %o | ppmtogif > gif.gif
does not work, nothing seems to happen.

Post_Frame_Command=cmd /c ppmquant -fs 256 %o | ppmtogif > gif.gif
works fine.

Post_Frame_Command=command /c ppmquant -fs 256 %o | ppmtogif > gif.gif
does not work. POV says: could not create process.

Is there something I can do to POV-Ray or my system (WinNT 4) that 
autmatically cmd.exe is used?
