Yup but doesn't have the flexibility I need alas - I need batch
conversion with UV mapping. 3DS to POV does batch conversions - but
Poserd to 3DS introduces texture problems which need hand fixing.

I've a strong impression that the problem is a bug of my making, which
I'm continuing to investigate :(
