Our prayers have been answered! Thank you sincerely Nathan. I'll go get it
right away! :)

Say, BTW, remember a long time ago, I did an example file for POV 3.5? Will
it be included for real?

Spotted a suspicious thing in the documentation (section 9.20):

"The output values are a greyscale representation of the pixel colors using
the formula Red*0.3+Green*0.11+Blue*0.59"

  This must be a mistake either in the documentation (no big deal) or in
the program (a very big deal).

I'm not sure how to take that.  It looks like an insult to me.

Make sure the TAG team gets a copy of it.  They're helping a lot with the

That's what happens when nobody can see all the hard work you've been doing.
;-)  I must assure everyone that the POV-Team is working hard on POV 3.5.
