Minor problems, probably already fixed, but who know (beside Ingo :-)

6.4.1.5.1  Aspect Ratio

Found "or or":
"When your intended viewing method uses square pixels then the width and 
height you set with the Width and Height options or or switches should also 
have the same ratio as the up and right vectors."

Strange characters:
"This specifies a perfectly square image. On a square pixel display like 
SVGA you would use pixel settings such as ? ? or ? ?. However on the non-
square pixel Amiga 320x400 mode you would want to use values of ? ? to 
render a square image."
First ? is a Japanese character, next ones are hollow rectangles. With IE 
5.0 installed on Win98.
Source:
  <p>This specifies a perfectly square image. On a square pixel display like
  SVGA you would use pixel settings such as <code>+W480 +H480</code> or 
<code>
  +W600 +H600</code>. However on the non-square pixel Amiga 320x400 mode you
  would want to use values of <code>+W240 +H400</code> to render a square
  image.</p><p>
Changing the source to:
  <p>This specifies a perfectly square image. On a square pixel display like
  SVGA you would use pixel settings such as <code>+W480 +H480</code> 
or <code>
  +W600 +H600</code>. However on the non-square pixel Amiga 320x400 
mode you
  would want to use values of <code>+W240 +H400</code> to render a 
square
  image.</p><p>
solves the problem...
Note: With IE5.5 on WinNT4, I have no problem... Neither with Win98 with 
IE4...
I guess you can ignore this problem report, but I had to indicate it :-)

Missing "_"
6.5.1.10  Spheresweep

Should be "dispersion":
"7.4.7  Disperion amounts"
