	I beg to disagree. I have imitated some things such as a
jumpgate. I appreciate why opening it is such a short scene
except for the CGI intensive eps twice a year. It takes fer-efing
ever to render on a PII/333. And theirs are better, much better. 

	They do not use raster renderers. You can not go from front to
back in raster machines.
