#Error IBMPOV
3 messages in this thread
Have downloaded the POVIBM.zip file which has a Math Coprocessor emulation as
you have suggested, however, on my 386 AT machine, 5 megs RAM, 7megs free disk
space, with stacker, the povray and pov batch files give me the same error
message: Bad default file format. Offending char: (/), val:47 Thinking that it
was an error in unzipping, I reunzipped, only to find the same error upon
execution. Any ideas? Dolf DeRovira

Dolf, something in your POVRAY.DEF file, or on the command line, is probably
wrong. Look thru your file & see if you can see something missing or go ahead &
post it here. Also make sure you ar putting an "-i " or "-o" in front of the
file name you are trying to render. For example for glass.pov a simple command
line would be:
Povray -iglass.pov -oglass.tga
With this everything else will be looked for in a file called POVRAY.DEF. Give
that a shot & see what happens.

Dolf,
I believe this means that you have a bad POVRAY.DEF. This file is used to
record POV-Ray default settings. It sounds like you have a "/" in this
file, which POV-Ray is choking on. This is not a required file; you may
delete it; or fix it. The documentation will tell you what should be in it.
Yours, Douglas
