There will be the following include file options:
   -ib<file> include file at beginning of POV file
   -ic[<file>] no camera, optional include file
   -il[<file>] no lights, optional include file
   -ie<file> include file at end of POV file

But are you aiming at a specially named file (e.g. L3Colours.inc) that,
if it exists, automatically will be included ?
I.e. so that you don't have to specify "-ibL3Colours.inc" or
"-ibL3PPARTS\L3Colours.inc" each time you call L3P ?

Special files could also be L3Begin.inc and L3End.inc.

PS. I have been thinking about a flag to specify whether an include file
should simply generate a #include "file.inc" or if it should be read and inlined.
Any interest or opinions ?

If L3P were to inline the file, you should spefify an absolute path or
a path relative to the current directory, because L3P doesn't know
POV's search paths.

(...) That all sounds perfect. I really like the idea of L3Begin.inc and L3End.inc as well. I think that is a brilliant solution. As for the inline/not-inline option, for L3Begin, L3End and L3Colours I think it should default to inline but be (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) That is excellent news! I missed the first post (ref'd above) but that is exactly what I meant. Would it be possible to include a file in the directory with a name like L3Colours.inc or something that declares any modified colours one wishes (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)
