I can't find my copy of the macro that placed your name in front of the
camera. Has anyone got a copy they can e-mail me? And who made it?

I don't recall such a macro but there is a utility that will imprint an
image with your name at:

I think that I got my copy from ????
I know that I made adjustments and then
sent it back to him and the ng's but his name
escapes me. I will dig my copy off the HD and
email you.

Thanks! That was it. I am going to merge it with a couple of other things
and make an include that will fully document my images and animations. I
will post it when (if) I ever get it done.

OK, another one. I found the macro to get the time using the #fopen
directive, but I can't find the gettime.bat that it uses. Almost certainly
lost with the hard drive.

It was a batch file to write to a file called gottime.txt I wrote a batch
file to pipe the "time" command to that file but it doesn't seem to write it
correctly. I get a type mismatch error, probably because of the minus signs
in the text string.

I meant to say the minus signs in the "date" command...
...maybe there isn't a way around that.

Lets see...

I originally made it as an include file.

Then you (Mr. Art) made it into a macro.

Bill, if you want to make it back into
an include file I can send you the
original include file if you are
interested.
What exactly will your include file be
doing?

Greetings,

Rune

Well, I already rewrote it but I would like to see your original if you
don't mind.

I want to Stamp date, time, frame #, file name and copyright information in
small text at the bottom of each frame or image. I am setting up a stack of
.ini files and batch files and .inc files to do this. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.

I have that. Here 'tis:

@echo off
echo " > gottime.txt
echo | more | time | find "Current" >> gottime.txt
echo "; >> gottime.txt
c:\progra~1\pov-ra~1.1\bin\pvengine.exe /render
c:\progra~1\pov-ra~1.1\scenes\gettime.pov
exit

Save as Gettime.bat

Bob

I forgot the quotes, it works great now.

Next question, is there anyway to get the name of the file that is being
parsed and #declare it as a text string to be read in that file? So that I
can lable my images with the file name without having to type it in
everytime I render an incremented file name?

Uh, more importantly, is there a fix for the Help file? Mine is almost
unusable as it is...
