Ok, this is kind of an odd question, but here it goes.......
When I first found out about POV, I downloaded version 3.1 and it worked
fine. However, I'm still pretty new to POV and still trying to figure
it out, and I noticed that most scene files still use the older version
3.0x or 2.2 syntax, so I got version 3.02 and installed it. The problem
is that when I go to render something, I get a general protection fault
invalid page fault thing -- you know -- one of those really annoying
errors that shuts down the program you're running. I'm just wondering if
anyone out there has any suggestions, or may know what the problem is.
Other important stuff:
I'm running POV 3.02 for Win95 on a P-II 300Mhz system
POV 3.1 runs and renders fine
POV 3.02 will run, but won't render
I installed the different versions of POV in different directories.

Richard, if you haven't already tried this, you might have a look at the
POV-Ray v3.1 documentation section 4.2.5 "The #version Directive". In part,
it states:
"As POV-Ray as evolved from version 1.0 through 3.1 we have made every
effort to maintain some amount of backwards compatibility with earlier
versions. Some old or obsolete features can be handled directly without any
special consideration by the user. Some old or obsolete features can no
longer be handled at all. However some old features can still be used if you
warn POV-Ray that this is an older scene. The #version directive can be used
to switch version compatibility to different setting several times
throughout a scene file. The syntax is:
VERSION_DIRECTIVE:
#version FLOAT;
(end excerpt)
Which specific scenes have you encountered problems with, when rendering
with POV-Ray v3.1?

Just noticed your system date setting... would you, by chance, be using a
time expired beta of POV-Ray v3.1? I believe that most, if not all of the
demo/sample scenes that are included with POV-Ray v3.1 have been updated to
v3.1 Scene Description Language syntax.
