Hiya Ken,

One workaround is to create your circular sine wave in Illustrator and
bring it into POV as a font ( after converting).

Another workaround would be to create a flat sine wave in the ususal manner
and then use BEND.INC to curve it.

Another workaround might be to create 1 sine wave and then employ rotated
copies of it.
