I finally got around to running POV on Linux after having run it
on Win for on to two years now. Only a little tweaking and it
runs just fine and produces the output image using the first
option right from the help screen. 

	A minor problem though, nothing will open the resultant images.
Only one oddball viewer will open it so it is there and viewable.
Most importantly GIMP will not open it. 

	Any ideas?

	An appropriate random sig came up. 

	The problem with the short help line is that gives +Oname.tga
but does not include +FT in the command line.
