Hi Thomas,

Apologies mate but I have no idea what 'p.b.i' means. The Accutrans conversion
program converts my .dxf file into a single .pov file (no material or geometry
files a la poseray), version 3.5 with a simple 'save as' click. I can then make
any adjustments to the textures etc that I want and call this converted mesh
file into any pov scene I like.
