Omitting DAT-code from POV output files?

Now that I've made my first baby steps into the wild world of inlined
POV-Ray code, I have a whole fleet of brand new dumb questions to ask, so
here goes the first one:

I've created a clone part in POV-Ray, the .pov file for which is somewhere
around 1.3K.  I inlined it in a somewhat large .dat file (over 100K) and
used the superfantastic L3P -enp to convert the file to POV-Ray, but the
output file was 320K!

Here's the part:

It occurred to me that I may have missed something basic and thought some of
the local CAD gurus might have nothing better to do than give me a heads-up.

Unfortunately I don't have the .dat file with me here at work, so I can't
presently post the code, but I was wondering if this might be a simple
enough problem that some sort of "hey dummy, use the #### code" answer might
suffice.  I can certainly post the code tonight if it would help.

Thanks for any insight you can incite!

      Dave!

(...) I think this is what you want to do: 0 File header 0 L3P IFPOV 0 POV-Ray version of file goes here .... 0 L3P ELSEPOV 0 Ldraw version of file goes here .... 0 L3P ENDPOV 0 End of file 0 Andy (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
