I'm just grateful that the Pov team and others like Ron and Nathan, have
bothered to produce povray, Without it I would never have discoved the
wonders of raytracing.  We all know that there are many difficulties with
PovRay,but instead of complaining do as others have done; roll up your
sleeves get stuck in and put your programming skills where your mouth is.
