This is just my opinion since I started all this by suggesting to Lars to add POV support into L3P in the first place. By adding a few .dat primitives (not POV primitives) to the .dat definition, then you don't have to tie yourself to any renderer. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
