While your wood texture is nice, there is one major problem: The wood nerves 
continue from dark to light square etc, as if it were one piece of wood and 
not a mozaic of wooden square.

  It would be nice (and polite) if you mentioned where you got that code
from.

I always do when I know where it came from. I know you have perfect memory and
can remember where you first saw every snip you ever saw.

I would have if I could remember where. Took me half hour to find it where I
couldnt remember where I left it on this puter.

Maybe you recognize it and can tell us all since it seems so important to you.

Any warp code layin' around here? I dont recall seeing any.

there is a word for this, or several, I leave that to the readers.

ah the wonder of computers, I silk screened it on to a single piece of wood, we
can imagine. I did some bevel jobs but so far always with white spots.

itchy fingers today ... lets try that again ...

I should have mentioned that I dont recall where I found it, when I posted it,
sorry I'm not perfect.

Warp you might have, in that case, asked me if I recall where I found it, and
I'd would say something like, no do you? (recognize it I mean)

if we only cared,

  I know this specific piece of SDL because it was written by me.

Glory be. Is that a rainbow cast on D5, zoom in and render the one piece that is
doing it and enlarge.

glass dispersion ... according to consts.inc  ... 40 times with the wavelengths
reversed
got it. thank you. must be time to look at dispersion.

you rock.

so commented, I just know good code when I see it. so you got this web site
where I must have seen it. so many possibilities, so little time, on to
dispersion.

My memory stinks.  That's why i write things down.  Specifically, whenever i
lift an algorithm or segment of code, i comment directly into the code where it
came from.  Whenever i download code off povray.org, i make sure
that--somehow--the source of the code is noted.

Whether or not you recall is not the issue.
