Sorry for this, but I have been a user of POV long enough to forget how
to change the default output format.  POVRay 3.02 output was by default
TGA, for some reason my current output for POVRay 3.1 is BMP.  Would
someone please explain to me how to chang this back to TGA.

Thanks,
Rik

To change to output format, go to the Tools menu and select "Edit master
povray.ini"
When that comes up, simply type "+FT" and save the file. When you restart
POV-Ray, it should output to TGA.
