Seeing's I've no other way of transferring topo data into POV/Moray,
I'll take what I can get.  Plus I do a blur after putting in all the
lines/filling them thereby getting a smoother image...but even then
I get a terraced look.  Even if I could output more than 256 shades
of grey, it'd still be terraced, just at a finer level.
