I've installed POV 3.1b5 on my Windows 95 machine, and I'm running into
another syntax problem.
When I render this code :

camera { location <0.5,0.4,-4>
               right 4/3*x
               direction 1*z
               look_at <0,0,0> }

I get a warning :

"All #version and #declare of float, vector, and color require
semi-colon ':' at end. "

on the same line as the 'location' keyword. If I put a semi-colon after
the vector in this line I get :

"No matching } in camera, ; found instead."

I have looked through the documentation but I can't find anything on
syntax changes in 3.1 from version 3.0
If anyone has any info, could you post it or e-mail me with it please?

Is there a #version or #declare on the last nonblank line before the
camera?  Look there for the problem.

Actuallyere is. I had a macro command and was told that the version was set
to 3.0, so I had to declare  version 3.1. I misread the warning, five or
six times, actually. I think I understand...thanks
