Hi...

I have tried some of the codes and files found on this news server and this
group.  I have been getting an error on some of them saying that the parse
failed.  Couldn't find the file object.pov.  Is this a file that came with
POV ray or is it something seperate to download.

Thanks..
Jennifer

object.pov is the default filename POV-Ray uses if you do not specify a file
to render.  Please note that you have to save the POV file on disk before
rendering and then specify the name on the command line if you are using a
command line version.  The Windows and Mac OS versions are accompanied with
detailed documentation explaining how to render a file.
In case you cannot overcome these problems please specify the platform
(Windows, DOS, Mac OS, Linux, etc) and version (3.1g, or an earlier
version?) you are using.
