Version 2 now.  Skipped over 1, and yes I named the previous Zip with a
number 3 for three files in it.  Mistake, maybe I'll cancel that to prevent
confusion since it wasn't a good macro to begin with.

I made plenty of changes so this thing would be more versatile, my crude way
of macroing has improved a little (maybe).  Its no miracle of POVing but it
works.

Zip file has both a small Mpeg and Jpeg included for you to look at
immediately (the animation was from early on so it's bad, sorry).

There's a message stream to tell you the current position (approx.) and a
couple other things.  I almost switched to the Clock Modifier Macro but kept
with ClockMod.inc for now.  It isn't needed for stills but making a frame
from animation is what I do.

The Pov test scene file is your guide to the many parameters.  And pay
little attention to the scenery... wasn't meant to be extravagant.

Careful how you use this macro, high winds can be dangerous  :-)
Ok, I've said enough by now I think.
