How/where do I use switches for wondows 95?
I want to have files saved as.png.  But I have read and re-read and
cried and tried.
I need to be led by the hand on this one.

I wasn't aware that POV-Ray could output a PNG file.  The easiest way would
be to download Paint Shop Pro and use it to convert TGA's to PNG's.

ok.  But still...what about TGA's.  I cant even get it to do that.  Will only
save as POV, INC, TXT or ALL.

heh...
whenever it renders, it outputs a .TGA file by default.
Look in the directory that contains your scene files.

HOWEVER, you CAN force it to output a .PNG format, by using the command-line
switch +FN
Alternatively, you can put this in your povray.ini:
Output_File_Type=N

This will force the .PNG output.

You can also put
Output_File_Name=C:\images\

to force it to output it to C:\images

The command line switches are stored in the "Render -> Edit Settings/Render"
menu.  Or you can get to it by alt+c.  OR, you can get to it by pressing the
first render button (has a picture of a menu, camera, and an arrow going down to
a scene.)
