Does anyone know of an object modeller for Linux or BeOS that does
roughly the same thing sPatch does (exporting to povray is a must)? 
I've never been able to find one that comes close to the functionality
and ease of use of sPatch.  Mike Clifton's e-mail address no longer
works, so I can't beg him to port it.
Anyone have suggestions?  I'd even be willing to pay for it (but nothing
over about $100 or so).

I would have recommended 
http://www.moonlight3d.org
but the site has for unknown reasons been stripped down :-(
The program is worth to look back at it later.

Try Moonlight Atelier. It's a free NURBS Modeller. It's not Rhino but
it's not $800 either. The link is http://www.moonlight3d.org

Thanks for the recommendation.  I tried it out, and it looks like it may
fit the bill (as best as any modeller can come to replacing sPatch ;).

BTW, if anyone is looking for a copy of it, I found a mirror on the
tucows (ugh) Linux site.
