It's not really a big deal, it's just that there were so many errors in 
such a short message. ;-)

Which program? POV, or the tree utilities? POV-Tree is a separate 
program, and has no official connection to the POV-Ray program. For 
support of that program, you should contact its author. TOMTREE is a 
third-party include file for POV-Ray, and has its own instructions for 
use. If you're not sure if a problem you're having with it is due to the 
include or POV-Ray itself, go ahead and ask about it here, otherwise Tom 
Aust would be the best person to talk to.

Hmm...even a computer without any moving parts is a machine. One of the 
meanings of "machine" is "A system or device, such as a computer, that 
performs or assists in the performance of a human task" (taken from 
dictionary.reference.com)
And generally, computers are enclosed in boxes, and are commonly 
referred to as boxes. So I guess I agree with you, though I'm not sure 
why you brought it up.
