Always glad to hear that :-)

But I suggest everyone to calm down a bit; There are two approaches to 
working with colors in POV-Ray: (1) Using assumed_gamma 1.0 for 
photorealism, and (2) using assumed_gamma 2.2 (or something alike) for 
more pleasant brightness gradients in color_map and the like. Warp has 
always been a proponent of the latter, while you and I are proponents of 
the former, but at present it must be conceded that both have their 
benefits.

@Thomas: Don't listen to Warp in this matter - it'll only get you all 
the more confused.
