Yes I am sure it was not.  I was one of the alpha and later beta testers.
You describe the scene in a C like language (including types, varibales
etc...), run it through the 'compiler' and get a an .obj file then 'link
into a .pov file.  In order to create animations, this was a breeze as you
were able to use equations and conditions in a C like manner.
This was years and years ago and I just do not know what happened to the
project.  One of the countless many useful projects that were swept aside.
