I have that book- that's the one that got me into all
of this- it had POLYRAY and the reason I got it over
the POV one at the time was because the POLYRAY one
worked without a math co-processor... not a slow way to
trace- a dead STOP way to trace- but it got me hooked
anyway...

yup.  And a HORRIBLE modeller programmed in some sort
of BASIC- POVCAD I believe...  

The book was rather badly written now that I look at it
and could have used a lot more clarifying points...

But why bother?  I'm not interesting.
