doh!  yep,  I gave 125 MB to POV-Ray that let me open the file.  thanks,
Thorsten.

unfortunately, I didn't get far ;-(   the file is 11.6 MB; I have 512 MB RAM
on this 800 MHz PB.  the file is open now, but I'm stuck at the Rendering
Progress box.  it says "Starting" but no details and no messages, and it's
been spinning for about 15 minutes.

fwiw, this file takes 7 min to render on the same machine under OS X 10.1.5
(same copy of Pov-Ray), and it takes about 2 minutes on a 667 MHz IBM
Netvista.  on the Mac side, Preview is off and Render Quality is 9 (no AA).

more help for a newbie?

thanks,

-tim
