Can I download somewhere (unofficial) vesion of PovRAY that will allow to 
use i.e. 10.000 samples in radiosity (count) ?

Btw, I didnt follow the dicussion in .programming about that subject, but 
afair problem with more samples where that building table of directions to 
use in radiosity was very slow process, and therefore 1600 precalculated 
directions/samples are encoded into POV source.
And storing array big enought to hold 1601,1602,1603 .. 10000 samples would  
dramaticly increase siez of pov install file.

My sugesstion - maybe store only few values >= 1600, i.e. 
1..1600, 
1700,1800,1900,2000
3000,4000,...10000

if CPU time is needed to calculate such arrays I do have pleanty of free 
CPU time (curently under WinXP) and I would ve hapy to help.
