Hi Gordon,
	As I write, I am rendering your sample file supplied with version 3.1
(MSDOS).  I had to make some simple changes in order for this to render
nicely.  The first was to change the name of your include file.  I
suspect that this is because of the DOS limitation for naming.  The only
other thing that I changed was to add a semi-colon to the end of each
#declare statement that declares a value (as opposed to declaring an
object).  Povray would run, but would generate MANY error messages
(multiple messages for each blade), without adding the semi-colons. 
Other than that, it appears to be rendering fine.
