Sure, if you tell me what exactly what you want...

Well, I don't really know. As I said, James said to do this at the
command line

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -c "POV3" -t "TEXT" /Users/yourname/yourfile.pov

and after doing that, the POV-Ray programs processed the files normally.

I don't know why POV-Ray would ignore the original file but process the
file that simply had its creator and type changed. I am guessing that
POV-Ray is set to only process text files, so if POV-Ray doesn't
recognize the file as a text file then POV-Ray ignores the file (POV-Ray
3.5 OS X version) or tells the user that it cannot process a non-text
files (POV-Ray 3.1 OS 9/Classic)/

Thanks for making an OS X release of l3p. Even if I have to write a
script to change the file type, it is still a lot better than having to
run l3p in Virtual PC.

This is more of an issue with POV-Ray. It has everything to do with Macintosh Meta data. l3p creates files with no meta data. If you type: /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -c /path/to/.pov /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -t /path/to/.pov You get: "" Which (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
