Go to

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1434/pcm.html

and look for Mesh Compressor 2.1 (mc21win.zip)

Now if you have an inc file which contain a mesh, this soft
will compress and convert your object to mesh2 (uv-pov format 
in the soft). Attention, sometime when you convert, the soft 
create several mesh2 (even if there is only one mesh), so 
you must add union (or merge if your object is transparent).
Moreover, if you have #declare myObject = mesh{...}, the soft
will convert this into mesh2{..}, you must add yourself the 
declaration.

Now if you have some dxf, 3ds, etc... object, you convert it
into inc/udo with 3dwin or inc with crossroad and after you
convert it into mesh2 with Mesh compressor. 

Rem: if you have 3ds, look for 3dstopov at the site of 3dwin.
