I have a book by the name of "Ray Tracing Creations." The disk which 
comes with the book has "over 100 scene files." In the back of the book 
is a picture of the Jack Coaster scene you speak of.

Now, there is a good chance the file is on the disk. There's one problem 
though: I would have to run the install program to find out if the file 
is in there. It won't install for some reason. I can send you the whole 
install file if you want, and maybe you can make it work.
