Do you also have 3.5 installed? I do and POV 3.6 looks in the 3.5 
folders for the scenes, but looks in it's own include folder for inc 
files. If the include is in the same place as the scene file, it may not 
look in the right place.

No the point is that the file 'bglass.inc' does not appear, in neither
folder! And searching my whole PC, I found it simply does not exist!

OK. Same thing here, and only one referance of it in "table_stuff.inc" 
from 3.6. Try editing table_stuff.inc to change bglass.inc to glass.inc.

Oooh... And me thinking that bglass.inc was some 'special' file... (perhaps
it is? ;-) )
Yeah! obvious solution! Thanks for reminding me I should improve my
intelligence  :-})

I just found this commentary in the revision.txt file of PoV-Ray 3.6.

There is another file also named "glass.inc" in the %InstallDir\inc
directory.  For 3.6, they renamed the balcony scene's "glass.inc" file to
"bglass.inc" to avoid the naming clash.  But it seems the "bglass.inc" file
was mistakenly left out of the PoV-Ray distribution.  A minor whoops.

Cheers,
Brian
