Well, at least in MegaPovPlus 032
Example:
This doens't work:
( <----ERROR
C:\Mijn documenten\POV-Ray\Scenes\t.pov:21: error: object or directive
expected but End of File found instead.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)
)
#version unofficial MegaPov 0.5;
camera {
 location <1,3,-5>
 angle 70
 look_at y*5
}
light_source {
 <5000,50,-500>
 rgb 1
}
sphere {
 0,.5
 pigment {rgb 1}
}
glow {size .125
 type 0
 location x
 color red 1
}

But this does:

#version unofficial MegaPov 0.5;
camera {
 location <1,3,-5>
 angle 70
 look_at 0
}
light_source {
 <5000,50,-500>
 rgb 1
}
glow {size .125
 type 0
 location x
 color red 1
}
sphere {
 0,.5
 pigment {rgb 1}
}

Yeah, no, you have to have -something- after the isosurface. I've been
putting in box{0,0} just to make sure.

You mean after the glow, right?
Isn't that a bug?

Now this is odd...I don't see any reason for this to work this way. Can 
you use background, sky_sphere, or fog? The code for glow should work in 
exactly the same was as for these, I doubt it is specific to glows.

Does it work if you just put some spaces or blank lines at the end of 
the file?

Chris makes a note to check this out when he has time...

This is fixed in MP 0.6 and 0.6a. Just look at parse_frame().
Did you add those changes in MP+ Chris?

Actually I am moving my patches to be based on MP 0.6a...probably why I 
didn't see anything wrong. :-)

Chris, we brought this up right after you created the glow patch. I've been
putting sphere {0,0} in all of my scenes with just glows.

I must have forgotten it among all the other problems you people 
found... :-)

Why not "box{0,0}"? It is 4 characters shorter... ;-)

Anyway, glows now attach to objects properly. You can attach them to any 
object, not just CSGs. You still can't declare them...I might end up 
removing the ability to specify glows outside of objects and light 
sources, and adding a "glow_object" which can be used instead. This 
would be easier to maintain.
