Is that repeatable? Does it still freeze if you run it again after a
reboot? It works fine on my machine.

The syntax has changed. 

POV 3.5 is not MegaPOV. 

Either read the 3.5 documentation thoroughly or take a quick look at the
"Differences between MegaPOV and POV 3.5" page of my Isosurface tutorial

thanks for the links... i knew it was old news about the text and syntax
but like i said im lazy... Thanks again... =]
Yes Abyss.pov crashes all the time... When i first dl'ed the 3.5 beta it
was the first file i tried to render... Frustrated i threw 3.5 away... I
see now that is is only a problem with this one file (so far)... =[ I run
OS 9.2 on a brand new iBook 600mhz...?? I will probably use mega till 3.5
runs smoothly... =\
