I wrote Mr. Hayden about POV-Motif and recieved the following reply:

Ken,

Thanks for your interest in POV-Motif.  The archives are off the page by
design.  Limited space on the web server and all that.  If you want, I can
EMail them to you, although they are a little out of date.  POV-Motif was
designed to drive POV-Ray 2.x.  It doesn't support the newer features in 3.x.

I can tell you I'm working on a new GUI interface for POV-Ray that will
include the new 3.x features.  It's written in Java and will run on
anything that has a Java virtual machine available.  That will include
Linux and Solaris.  I'm a few weeks from completion of this product though.
 Interested in giving this a try when I'm ready with it?

Kindest regards,

William D. Hayden  Christi S. Hayden
