Ho ho ho! (for Christmas-time, new laugh)
I was going to mention the binary too if I hadn't looked up and realized I 
wasn't actually in povray.text.scene-files here.
Anyway, just wanted to take the opportunity to ask how many people found that 
the original chess2.pov, included with POV-Ray since way back, has a knight 
(horse) with only one ear?
I made changes to that file about a couple years ago (guess right after Dan 
Farmer) so there would be a *pair* of ears instead. At least I'm guessing 
everyone has gotten that same file with a missing ear!
In fact the latest 3.1 chess2.pov still retains this aspect although 
modifications have been made to make it 3.1 compatible and focal_blur added 
since 3.0. Dan Farmer modified the original 1991 script by Ville Saari and Dan 
Farmer in 1996.
Interesting to note:
"takes over 40 hours to render by standard amiga", Ville said. Wow.
I don't recall if I ever sent it over to Ville or not. The changes to it now 
are many and its not at all the same file(s). Maybe I'll try an email to him.
