If we get the time, we will go over all example files and do our best to
make them usable on all platforms. 
To do this, please tell the limitations of unix, dos and windows. Is dos
still limited to 8.3 and if so must we keep names so small?

Which platform does allow for spaces, what is the maximum length of a
file name and, if applicable the length of the extention.
Even if an extention is not realy supported on a Mac, we do try to add
for every scene file the extention .pov, this makes things easier to
recognise.

Smellenbergh,
