Hello,

I was trying out the macros in the macros subdirectory.  I tried running
each one, but got the following error:

"C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\scenes\marcos\macro2.pov:27:
error:  Macros require #version 3.1 but #version 3.00 is set."

The above is just a specific example, but the same overall error message
obtained.  I can't figure this out - I looked in the documentation and
the macros *seemed* to be OK; for example, what I assume is the line
that caused the error above (27) is:

#macro Turn_Me(Stuff,Degrees,Axis)

I am running 3.1e.  I haven't patched it, or otherwise modified it to my
knowledge.  What on earth could be causing this problem?  As it now
stands, I cannot execute any macros of any kind.

While I'm at it, here is a second question.  I use Moray as my modeller,
and for some odd reason Povray states every time it renders that the
default ini file is "x," a file I created a long time ago.  It doesn't
seem to make any difference to the final result, but...why does it keep
calling a file I haven't used in months?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Dan

  This happens if you have version 3.0 set in your povray.ini.

Thank you.  I looked for all examples of povray.ini, and found one instance in
the renderer subdirectory.  How would I go about fixing it?

  Edit it and remove the version line.

Thank you again.  I was able to fix the problem with your guidance.  Oddly enough,
the problem was not with the main ini file (which had no mention of a version
number), but with the secondary ini file (the one I mentioned in the original
post.)  Once I removed the version number there, everything worked fine.
