This is the only reference to a batch file being used I saw:
"You may still use external programs or batch files to create animations without the
internal loop as you may have done in POV-Ray 2."
This of course doesn't mean to render the animation, just means for compiling one from
the frames already rendered. Not sure if I know what you are trying to do though. If
POV-Ray for Windows is called via a DOS batch file it states the usual "Windows 95
program" for me and does not start at all.

I'm trying to render an animation from the win98 command line. Povray
starts all right but tries to render frame 2 before its finished frame
1.

Win98 I do not know about. What this sounds like the is a case of mutliple rendering
and
perhaps POV-Ray is set to a single instance open at one time. I have no idea what it
would take to remedy the situation since if multiple POVs were run that would be no
good.

No, but there should be a way for your batch file to tell the operating
system it wants to wait for the program to complete.
You're getting problems due to microsoft hacks.
In Windows NT, you use the "start" command with some special parameter
to tell it to wait. Maybe using "start povray" instead of just "povray"
in your batch file will do the trick. Try "start -h" to get its options.

AHA! Got it.
I was working in Win98 last night, and did a quick check.
It looks like you want to use this:
start /w C:\someActualDirectory\PVengine.exe anim.ini /EXIT
Note the "start /w" and the "/EXIT"
Also, under Windows NT, the start command can be used, but the parameter is
different.
