Hello Erwin,

In one or the other version the option to substitute quotes with fancy ones was
ignored. I had to hardcode it.
That is fixed but older files can cause problems.

BTW: It is a general option in the system preferences panel under
'Language & Region'  bottom of this panel "Keyboard Preferences" >> Text
panel. "Use smart quotes and dashes".
This was always 'forced' off in PovRay, no matter what settings used in 
this panel.

I will have a fix for the inlcude file you send me.
An improved error message when a file can not be read. But files like
Problematic-Basket-Moves.inc are no longer causing problems and load!

Thanks for reporting this!
A new version out in a few days!
