Regarding POV-tree error:
   Just in case someone has a similar problem in the future - I did get POV-tree
to export tree mesh files just fine when I used my other machine running Windows
XP. I do have to watch I don't overload memory on this older machine, though.
It may just be something in the file structure of Vista, but if you try to
export and get a "File Not Found" error in Vista, try POV-tree on an XP machine
at least to generate the include files.  I just pumped out a bunch of tree
meshes and can't wait to build a forest tonight.
   Thanks again to Carlo, Genna, and Tom.
   Cheers,  Jeff H.
