No need to get shot. The original render is long gone I just have the code. 
The code was made in Moray 3.0 for Pov 3.0 . It was re-rendered in 3.7 
(might have been uberpov not for sure).  The original was April 1998 and Pov 
3.0 had Media then. The code rendered without too many problems just had to 
change radiosity and file locations and a few other things but not much 
else.  I just went to check which version and Pov crashed I don't know if 
was Pov because I got a bad sector on one of my drives at the same time 
(less than a month old ).

I will disappoint you, if you look at the binary file of the image, you
will see the uberpov 3.7 signature, and the date of the render: 2015-02-08.

Please don't shoot me!
