I wrote a little macro to turn an arbitrary string into a sequence
containing only the characters A,C,G & T (The 4 bases of DNA). The next
logical step was to make a macro that takes such a string and generates
a DNA model.
Here is an example; a special prize will go to the first person to
decipher it (the encoding process is completely reversible). You may
refer to the text2dna code which ended up in the Ctrl+V thread in p.o-t
if you wish.

Sorry, where's the code?  I tried a search in my newsreader and on the
news.povray.org website, and couldn't find it.

     It's in 'Off-Topic' in my "Reply to me" thread Deaken, near the bottom.

Do you know messages posted in that group expire in 2 week's ?
There are better places on this server to send sources.

I know. I replied to my own post to keep it away from the bit bucket for
a while longer; should I post a copy in one of the scenefiles groups
though? It's not a complete scenefile, only a single #macro (in fact
that's kinda the point, that you figure out the rest of the scenefile,
espc the string parameter passed to text2dna()! )

It's perfectly acceptable, for short scenes/macros/whatever, to post them with
the image here.

Longer scenes (single files) can go to text.scene-files (with the scene as the
body of the post), and scenes comprising of multiple files should go to
binaries.scene-files (as attachments).

All IMHO - Ken? Anyone? Can you confirm?

In 3.5 it's complete scenefile. It just produces black screen :-)
