Well, I have compiled a version for Macintosh. It should run under 8.6
or later with carbonlib. So, if you run it under the classic
environment, you must make sure to have the Carbonlib 1.3 or later
installed. It should also run under MacOS X (but not tested).

I did not compare files, I simply used the files for 0.71 and compiled
them (after some minor changes to make my c++ compiler eat them).

I made a little archive with the two compiles:
* POVMan/MegaPOV Carb 0.71 this is the rendering engine
* povslc this is the compiler.
I added a litte readme to get you started.

One note: I could not render the demo brick, the result wasn't good. The
scene anisotrop would not compile with povslc. Looks like there is an
error on line 4? Anyone??? I used the window sources and docs to start
with.

You can find the archive at:

Please let me know how things work!
