Hello...

I mentioned that there are some differecies btw. MegaPOV and POV 3.5... i'm
talking about MegaPOV features implement in 3.5 only.

Have someone a list of (all) these changes? I'm thinking about coding a tool
which changes the syntax of MegaPOV scenes to POV 3.5 (maybe also vice
versa) to render "old" MegaPOV scenes in new (and common) versions of POV..

Paul

Yes, the documentation of POV-Ray 3.5 has a list of all new features in
POV-Ray 3.5.  however, I do not think it is even possible to convert a MegaPOV
scene automatically to POV-Ray 3.5 if it uses some MegaPOV implementation of a
similar feature in POV-Ray 3.5...
