Kids these days...5.5?  That's kinda late.  I've still got a
copy of version 2 around here somewhere - probably on 5 1/4" floppy.
That's ONE floppy mind you.

And, yes, I had a raytracer I wrote in it too...
Still have it! Originally ran it on a 8Mhz 286.  One scene I gen'd
had 48 glass triangles and took over 80 hours to render at 320x200
on a 20Mhz 386. (Compaq 386 20E)

Guess I'm showing my age...;)
