I get the above error with MegaPOV v0.7 on OpenVMS Alpha if I try to use
the "+Mv2.0" setting. If I leave that out, it compiles just fine with
all the
other options.
$ megapovray +i skyvase.pov +v1 -d +ft -x +a0.300 +r3 +b1000
+w640 +h480
Works where..
$ megapovray +i skyvase.pov +v1 -d +ft -x +a0.300 +r3 +b1000
+mV2.0 +w640 +h480
dosen't work and gives the above error.
