Where can I get unofficial versions? :-)

AFAIK "clock" is just a variable with subsequent values...
In my case, every frame is quite different and produced
by an external program.

ps. I'd call GUI if it only had a switch "do not start GUI" :-)

You can use one file to boundle all 300 frames into one:
//begin file
#include concat("frame",str(frame_number,0,0),".inc")
//end file

Look into manual for details about your wishes, there is platform dedicated
chapter number one.

I just checked:
1. Windows limits selecting multiple files in the
"Open" system dialog
2. POV-Ray limits the queue to 512 entries.

Yes, that is true, this IS a workaround and it is
different from calling a command-line program
that everybody is used to do :-)

AFAICT, that is not documented or possible.

Indeed, I see it,
#define MAX_QUEUE 512
in pvguiext.h.
So you can recompile it for your needs with highier MAX_QUEUE setting.

Yes, but why is this limit needed?
