Nice to see v3.5 up and running - it still amazes me that a program like
POVray is freeware.

Now looking forward to getting into all the new features of 3.5 - ah, so
much more to learn and experiment with...bliss!

Though I'll still probably keep making my pyramids. I expect. Hmmm.

Thanks to the POVray development team, and thanks also to all the POVray
experts for their continuing help and advice in these newsgroups - very,
very much appreciated.
