Hi all

There is a broken link to the program 'Crossroads', listed here:
http://www.povray.org/resources/links/3D_Programs/Conversion_Utilities/

If there's somewhere else that program can be obtained, perhaps it could be
updated on that page?

Cheers
JP

I think that Crossroads hasn't been maintained since POV 3.1,
but I'm not entirely sure. Most people use the PoseRay converter now.
Crossroads was written by Keith Rule, you might read his book
"3D Graphics File Formats"
http://www.amazon.com/Graphics-File-Formats-Programmers-Reference/dp/0201488353
if you have an intrest in the underlying code.

Povray.org really could use a good way to keep dead links
separate from active ones, but the dead links are kept for
history and archival purposes.
