I've been testing my texture editor with Pov 3.1 and I've gome across a very
puzzling
problem. If I specify an output file name then I get a file init error from
pov, even if
the filename is exactly what the default one would be. I'm sure this is
something
specific to win 2000/XP as I never had this problem in Win 95. see below for
the full command line

Does anyone else remember having this problem? Is there a solution?

D:\Graphics\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\bin\pvengine.exe /RENDER
"D:\Develop\VB98\TexEdit\Example1.pov" +H200 +W200 +FS
Output_File_Name="D:\Develop\VB98\TexEdit\Result.bmp" /EXIT +GFerr.txt

You cannot use quotes around file path specifications in POV-Ray 3.1.  Use the
DOS style name instead.
