Where my problem is that the code didn't change since beta 6 :-(

  Having studied some Japanese it's not strange to me anymore that they
don't distinguish very well between r and l.
  In fact, the syllables ra, ri, ru, re and ro are not pronounced neither as
with an 'r' nor with an 'l' as in most western languages, but a kind-of
in-between sound.
  When translitterating foreign words to katakana, both l and r are written
with ra, ri, ru, re or ro.

  By the way, Japanese is a very interesting language. If someone wants to
learn an exotic foreign language which is not too difficult, I recommend
Japanese. It's surprisingly easy to learn (specially compared to its
neighbour language, Chinese, which I think is extremely difficult).

That's funny: some days ago I had a look through my mother's English books,
since I wanted to find one to improve my 'poor' English, and, neglecting
Shakespeare, Pirsig and Stone, I chose 'A guide to reading and writing
Japanese' by Charles E. Tuttle Co.
So, now I'm learning two languages and paying for one... :)

My Dad was over in Japan around the end of the Korean War and loved the
place, brought back some Japanese words/phrases and still says something on
a rare occasion.  Because of that one of my neices took a Japanese language
class.  Something I never considered would be easy despite them, and now
you, saying so.
Actually, it's not so much the speaking it that deters me it's the writing.
I dare not stray from the Roman alphabet and it's varied forms  :-)

Ha-ha-ha!

If you search those words using google, etc., you will find 
 thauthands of websites (including computer journals).

As Warp described, we usually don't care 'r' and 'l', also
's' and 'th', 'f' and 'h', 'b' and 'v', ... in pronounciation.

POV-Ray in japanese : povulei, poburei, pobulei, povulei, poblei,... 

Sorry for off-topic.

Well, the confirmation does not confirm that you are not crazy.  It does
confirm that others share your problems ...

I can confirm. I have started sample animation i_internal.pov. It works fine but
I forgot to set png output. I stoped this and restarted with +FN and is stoped
at first frame with message

Scene contains 2 frame level objects; 0 infinite.
00:00:01 so far, rendering frame 1, going to 77.

File: C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.5\INCLUDE\functions.inc  Line: 16
