I am not any form of expert on this or any subject for that matter. So,
please understand my naivete on this subject. I am worried that I may just
Up to recently I have been a programmer, of 20 years experience in
non-related subjects, before my disability put a period on the end of my
career. As I read the quoted message, I began to think, as I would back
then. I wondered if the following was possible. I know the people here are
the true experts and will know the feasibility of my idea in an instant. I
hope they will correct me if wrong, just not too harshly...
I would approach this problem by creating a global variable, an optional
arg to the command, or ini/inc file entry. So legacy POV programs
using/requiring the older form of the variable data is unaffected. This
would be because the default value will remain the original value. In
addition, those wishing a different one can just add the optional arg, set
the global, or make an ini/inc file entry.
I do not know if this is a good idea or not. Nevertheless, hope it will
help. There may be another way to do it that I, do to my lack of knowledge
of POV, do not know...
