Hi!
    Okay, I downloaded a POV(win) plugin, which included a *.col and a
*.inc file...  how do I use these and make the plugin work?
    Also, what are some sites which have plugings, etc for download?

To include the plugin in your scene file, just put a #include
"filename.inc" at the start of your file. After that, you'll need to check
out the readme.txt or other documentation that (should) have come with the
plugin for exactly how to use it's functions. Also, try looking at any
examples that might have come with it...

For a great site with plenty of POV include files, along with proper
instructions on how to use them and example. check out Chris Colefax's page
at:

It's one of the most used include sites by POV users.. IMHO.. :)

Matt

The .col file is usualy a color map file. Include it just
as you would a *.inc file e.g: #include "mycolors.col"
You will in all likelyhood find somewhere in the include
file an image map that makes reference to the contents
of the *.col file.
