It was there in the 3.1e version of the source; if it's missing from the
3.1g source, it must be an oversight.  I'll email it to you if you'd like.

I wouldn't spend much time on this.  Syntax highlighting will almost certainly
be handled differently in 3.5.

Careful.  There's a lot more to POV's current state than what you see in the
frame and opts structs.  Also, everything will change in this regard with 3.5.

They're specific to Borland C++ Builder, but the comments I posted before are 
correct: that source cannot be built without parts that you don't have and 
can't get.  It is for educational purposes only.
