In documentation there is a note "you can now specify a POV file on the
command-line without the use of the +i switch (...), the POV file then should
be the last on the commandline." and that "the default input filename is
object.pov". But seems it interfere with windows specific settings. When I
call

pvengine /RENDER /EXIT

I expect it to open object.pov, render it with default settings and exit after
rendering. But engine stays opened with error:

Initialization Error: Could not find file '/EXIT.pov'

Moreover pvengine /RENDER doesn't work with default input file either.

Any confirmation ? Similiar problems with platform specific settings on other
platforms ?

Or default file name doesn't work becouse as specified in 1.9.1 it is supposed
only "to render the file following" ?

Do you really think I didn't ?

The problem is that it looks like some kind inconsistency in options system
but there was probably a reason. For example simplified communication
requested with one some tool.

Yeah, you are right, I think I missed the point of your post.  You were
pointing out a conflict in options, not stuck on a problem.

Sorry about that,

Andrew
