Wheee!!!
Come on... This era, in what ??
This program is a multi-platform, and yes, it does outpput like I expect. Just
like any compiler would. Filename.pov becomes Filename.<extension>

Now, this is easy to reglate, just like any other well written program you can
default it to output into another directory, or another filename.
For your help. +o Switch, and in the wonderful helpfiles, output ....

Simple, isn't it ?

Ok, there is an examples dir that explains the use of both INI files and the POV

I'm sorry for my rough tone, I may be the one on this group with the least

Well, hope it is what you are after.
