yes, I looked at the actual script and it's in the middle.

#local Height= 71;
#local Width= 47;
#local Base= 18;

#declare ortho=
camera {
   orthographic
   location <0,Base+(1+Height)/2,-8*ft>
   direction <0,0,1>
   up <0,Height+1,0>
   right <Width+1,0,0>
   look_at <0,Base+(1+Height)/2,0>
   }


As long as the camera was pointed perpendicularly to the scene's horizontal
and vertical components, those components rendered straight.
