I found the problem its the 1 in the (200,200,1) dimensions. I change that to 2
and filled it with stuff. and it worked fine. Except when I filled the last
dimension with 5's it ran through but it was all black or very dark gray. No
problem! Thanks Rick!
To answer Bob. I have 586 with 12 meg expanded memory . The 200 by 200 I guess
the parse crashes, it crashes so quickly.The 100 by 100 the render is have way
or more through when it crashes..
 The way I render pov is I run a Qbasic program under Windows3.1 that runs a
POV. through the command line options. When they crash I get an error screen and
it goes back to the Qbasic program. Thanks for keeping on my toes. I'll have to
be more articulate in the future.
