Is there a limit on the size of the .DF3 files? I have povray 3.1d (I
think) and I run it under window3.1.
I opened up the spiral.df3 file inculed with msdosdoc and it has a size
of 50 by 50 by 5.
Then I made my own DF3 file a 200 by 200 by 1 and got an error right at
the start of the run.
So I retried with 100 by 100 by 1 and got have way through then the same
error.

I have not really tried these myself, but there is one consistnt thing in
your failed attempts, they are both by 1, try doing a 100x100x5

Would also help to know what memory you're attempting this with. Half way
through what? The parse or the render?

I've done 80x80x50 with no problems.

I found the problem its the 1 in the (200,200,1) dimensions. I change that to 2
and filled it with stuff. and it worked fine. Except when I filled the last
dimension with 5's it ran through but it was all black or very dark gray. No
problem! Thanks Rick!
To answer Bob. I have 586 with 12 meg expanded memory . The 200 by 200 I guess
the parse crashes, it crashes so quickly.The 100 by 100 the render is have way
or more through when it crashes..
The way I render pov is I run a Qbasic program under Windows3.1 that runs a
POV. through the command line options. When they crash I get an error screen and
it goes back to the Qbasic program. Thanks for keeping on my toes. I'll have to
be more articulate in the future.

Ah, those were the days, a few bytes of ram and good ol' Win 3.1; I
remember them well.
If there's a halt during render I wouldn't expect that to be memory
related then, but then you should be able to get a good idea of the amount
used after a successful render after all. The singular dimension and the
partial render sounds suspicous of some other possible problem.
