Checks out here too.  Now I know what Tony meant by "familiar".  Seems I have
gotten his scene file in a round-about way.

| A few things:
|
| First, your syntax is all the 0.3 syntax, which needs to be changed.
|
| "separation" has been replaced with "target"
| "radius" only takes one parameter after it (which is why it complained about
| finding a comma).
| "bounded_by" in isosurfaces must be changed to "contained_by"
|
| That should take care of it.  I've gotten it to run on my machine after
| making those changes.
|
| However.... the first time I tried it, I got those same syntax errors, and
| after I corrected it MegaPov crashed with a "fatal exception" blue screen,
| which later led to a "waiting for the close dialog box to appear" blue
| screen of death in Windows.
|
| Since then, I've implemented another fail-safe on the memory init/deinit
| routine so that it hopefully handles errors more smoothly.  I tried the same
| process that caused the crash the first time and now it doesn't crash.
|
| I think the problem was that when it hit a syntax error in the POV file,
| under certain conditions MegaPov would try to free memory that was never
| allocated, and therefore would crash.
