error:Numeric expression expected but float constant found instead


This is happening to every one of my files that previously worked. The error
occurs on my insert menu header, before it even gets to the main script.
Here's the whole thing.

    Nothing there to give it a problem as far as I can see. I am using
MegaPOV 0.7 on Win98

A reboot seems to have fixed the problem, which is kinda scary in
itself.

I don't think, that it is about rebooting, although MS want us to think,
that it solves all the problems :-)
I had similar problems from time to time and it seems, that it is error
in MegaPOV: if version number is not given in code, then it will be
uninitialized or overwritten (haven't found exact reason yet). So, if
this problem appears again, then add version line as first one to scene.
