Whoops, that should really have been Propan-1,2,3-triol...
Never mind.
Bye for now,

Yet you can use -z*27.0 fine (yes, with #version megapov) - I know, it's
what I use

Same here. Most of my transforms are shorthand and I have yet to see a
problem. MP 0.5, 0.6, 0.6a and 0.7.

Probably not. as the CRC of the zip file (or .tgz) would have caught
it.
I suspect drunk driving. Rick should post a more complete example of
what is not working.

i know i can, however its what is outputted by moray that i am working with,
and works perfectly till i add the version info, then it all falls down, i
dont want to have to start manually editing my scenes, especially as some
can get extremly complex with many layers of csg involving hundreds of
objects! (which is the reason i use a modeller!)

Search & replace? changing the -27.0*z to -z*27.0
Then again, time consuming

would have to search and replace every value one by one, would be simpler to
edit the code line by line by line.

There really is something weird with your installation, since I do this kind
of thing all the time, and have never had a problem. Perhaps something else
weird in your code, that just causes the break there?

_Exactly_ what version info do you put in, and where do you put it? I
use the shorthand rotates/translates using (float)*(axis) all the time
in Win versions of MegaPov, PoVMan etc. I've never used Moray, but I
can't see this particular shorthand causing a problem with any
unofficial version.
Bye for now,
