If Chris is right about it being a Wavefront file, then
you are lucky. (Maybe your nephew used LightWave3D to
export the shape to a Wavefront file ?)
Crossroads 3D seems to be able to both read Wavefront
files and write POV-Ray scene files.

thank you all for your help
I did find a poseray version for the mac
http://users.skynet.be/smellenbergh/poseray.htm
and this program converted the files to .pov format.
I had two objects, one with flat surfaces, the other with round surfaces.
the one with flat surfaces looked ok, the one with round surfaces is very
coarse in the ray rendition it does not really look smooth and round, but I
guess I need to learn more about ray-tracer and extrapolation.
thank you very much for all your help

To make the shape with flat surfaces smoother you can add
normals to the triangles.
Here's info about that:

No, but the Mac version can "import" a POV-Ray for Windos template menu
directory tree as well as the POV-Ray 3.0/3.1 template menu file.

You probably mean "Insert Menu" from "POV-Ray for Windows". Please more respect
for platform supported in your product ;-)

Yes, I actually removed "Windos" and added "Windos" to my spell-checker's
dictionary. It works really well since I rarely need to write about
hardware rather than the software ;-)
