Yes, I did actually (I'm so fatalistic, sorry).  I was implying that it
appeared to be going back to January 9th, 1999, being a year and a half or
so ago, and thought there was a chance the Amiga platform was being left
behind.  That date was from the POV-Ray Amiga PPC in testing! link which I
considered must be the latest thing going on.  That might put the source
code back to around "version 3.1a" wouldn't it?
Anyway, the source code at the download link states: Not yet available.
Expected by 10-Nov-1998
I realize not everything on the web stays current as of today but it had me
thinking it was trailing off toward a forgotten platform.  Curses, this
fast-paced internet mentality, if I was being wrong  :-)
