Just done a couple more texts and found that just -i skyvase.pov +b100 works, 
but if I use +b1000 in conjusction with the other options that come before it
(from the benchmark site), then it doesn't work in megapov but does in standard
3.1g.

I get the above error with MegaPOV v0.7 on OpenVMS Alpha if I try to use
the "+Mv2.0" setting.  If I leave that out, it compiles just fine with
all the
other options.

	$ megapovray +i skyvase.pov +v1 -d +ft -x +a0.300 +r3 +b1000
                     +w640 +h480

Works where..

	$ megapovray +i skyvase.pov +v1 -d +ft -x +a0.300 +r3 +b1000
                     +mV2.0 +w640 +h480

dosen't work and gives the above error.

Yes, because the syntax in the scene file is 3.0 syntax and you obviously
get an error when enforcing version 2.0 syntax.  The version of skyvase.pov
included in 3.1 clearly states that it has been updated to use new 3.1
syntax features.

I rememember having a similar problem when I moved from mp0.4 to 0.6
and see I've got a textures6.inc with "#version unofficial MegaPov
0.6;" added as the first line, and a skyvase6.pov which uses that
include. Both have the comment "Mods to remove MP6's error message". I
can no longer repeat the error and there have been no major system
changes since.

I'm using DOS versions of pov and mega, usualy under a Win98SE prompt.
