Hi again Allen,

Inspired by your request, I've done a little more work on the pumpkin and 
published an enhanced version (still at http://lib.povray.org).

The new version generates the pumpkin from a macro with options for how 
regular the shape is, how many segments it's made of, whether to cut a 
Halloween face in it and whether or not it has lights in it. I've randomised 
a lot of stuff so you can call the macro multiple times within the same 
scene and get different pumpkins each time. I've added an HTML document to 
describe all of the optional settings available (which all have defaults).

Regards,
Chris B.
