Thanks Bob. Just saw your post today as I tend to forget about posts after 
awhile.

Know what you mean about responding to posts. I like looking at the images 
on these newsgroup but usually can't think of anything to say other than 
"cool." I had a long break from work about a month ago and it gave me a 
chance to get back into using POV-Ray again. Unfortunately things are 
getting really busy again so the hobbies have to be put on hold again. That 
said I probably won't be doing anything more with these smoke 
simulators...simply to much work and it is really difficult to control the 
result.

Mike
