I was trying to render this and the coder uses a #declare #while structure
which 3.6 doesn't like.
Also I have found lots of POV files which have brackets { and } with several
lines in between and POV 3.6
says that there is no closing bracket. } Is there a utility or FAQ for
newbies how to convert a POV 3.1 or earlier
file so it will render correctly in 3.6?
  Thanks to any kind soul for reading. Fred

I tried opening your zip file but I got a message saying it is corrupted or
invalid. POV-Ray 3.6 should be able to deal with #declare #while structures
just fine. I know there is a Search --> Match Brace on the menu bar. Not
sure if that will help you much. I used POV-Ray a long time ago, then got
back into it. When I tried to render my old stuff, I just had to go
through it, error by error, and figure it out (or give up - ha ha).
Good luck, Janet

Don't forget that all #declare or #local statements should be ended by a
semi-colon   ;

If you get an error about brackets, it means there is one missing somewhere.
Search / Match Brace can help you.
