  Using povray at the command line in windows

All,

I'd like to execute povray from the command line, but that does not appear to be
an option with the current windows version.

What I want to do is produce a sequence of images, each of which depends upon
two parameters, phi and theta. The values of phi and theta are generated in
Matlab and saved to a text file.

A former student of mine wrote a script on a unix box to accomplish the task:





cat defs.ini | sed s / var1 /$THETA/ | sed s / var2 /$PHI/>newdefs.ini ;
povray -W640 -H480 +Oanim-$TIME.png anim.pov ;
done ;

But I don't seem to have access to the "povray" command in a DOS box to mimic
this approach.

Is there a suggested alternative?

Thanks.

David.
