I have not followed closely all the changes since the Voodoo. It is
probably worthwhile to get an overview of what has changed; I can then
make update the Voodoo and turn out a new pdf-file.
I find it a big problem that all information is scattered over the years
and the newsgroups. So much is lost and sometimes re-discovered several
times. There is the Documentation of course which represents the basic
foundation of POV-Ray, but the extra info and expertise of individual
users is not or hardly brought together comprehensively. It takes time,
energy, availability, understanding. Not always present together for us
poor users! ;-)
