If we get the time, we will go over all example files and do our best to
make them usable on all platforms.
To do this, please tell the limitations of unix, dos and windows. Is dos
still limited to 8.3 and if so must we keep names so small?
Which platform does allow for spaces, what is the maximum length of a
file name and, if applicable the length of the extention.
Even if an extention is not realy supported on a Mac, we do try to add
for every scene file the extention .pov, this makes things easier to
recognise.

DOS is still 8.3, yes, but DOS 7.0 supports long file names, I think.
I am not sure if Windows of DOS 7.0 itself does the LFN-to-8.3
conversion for "smart short names".

On Unix there are no limitations but I think the way POV interprets
the input file name causes a problem. I informed Mark about it and if
the bug is indeed in POV and he is able to fix it then you can apply
the fix in 0.4 instead of going for the filename workaround <grin>
I haven't noticed problems with filenames in Windows.

Doubleclick a .pov file in explorer. Pov starts but does not load the file.
This only happens when there is a space in the pov-file. (NT4)

Can you confirm this - under win95 there is a no problem double clicking on
long filenames with spaces, but if pov is set for single instance, double
clicking on a file once pov is running does no good (ie it doesn't open). If
pov is not set for single instance, then the file will open up in a second
instance of pov. I wonder if you have mistaken this for your reported
problem?

This is not the case for me. Pov-Ray is closed when I doubleclick the file
so Pov should always load it.
Take the file "Bic Patch.pov", in messages is an INI file error:
Bad option syntax or error opening .INI/.DEF file 'Patch.pov'
A tab for a new file is opened with the title 'Bic'
I have the feeling it's a problem with th file association. In application
for the action I have the line:
D:\Graphics\POV-Ray\bin\pvengine.exe /EDIT
(should have mentioned this in the first post, wasn't realy awake this
morning)

It works under Win98.

How about the %1 at the end and all in quotes?
"D:\Graphics\POV-Ray\bin\pvengine.exe /EDIT %1"

Apparently, for some reason that goes beyond me, povray seems to look for
spaces into the parameters and then split the parameters.
I wonder why.

Thanks Bob, this lead me to the solution:
D:\Graphics\POV-Ray\bin\pvengine.exe /EDIT "%1"

Wups, right you are, I should have looked first:
"C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\BIN\PVENGINE.EXE" /EDIT "%1"
/EDIT being the only unquoted thing.
