Yes, I was just informed by Ken about that. I though that the inclusion was partly to
the
sucess Gilles Tran and other PC users have had with the combination 3DWin and MegaPov.
Since no Mesh2 file have ever been produced on a Mac, I don't think that many Mac
users
have insisted much on its inclusion in the official release.
However, it seems like I was wrong.

Sorry that I was unclear. English isn't my first language.
The only thing I mean with "use" is to be able to render a UV-mapped model in POV-Ray,
just
like Gilles Tran and others have been able to do for a long while. The documentation
seems
to imply that I can, when in fact, I can't.
(unless I write a converter myself or buy a PC)
