I added a few macros to the file. The macros in the file now includes:
Connect: a macro to smoothly connect two spheres.
RoundedBar: Creates a box with four of its edges rounded.
RoundedBox: Creates a box with all of its edges and corners rounded.
NEW! BevelBox: Creates a box with its edges beveled.
AxisRotate: Rotates objects around arbitrary axes.
Reorient: Takes an object pointed along one axis and turns it to face
in a different direction.
FlipXY: Flips an object between the x and y axes.
FlipXZ: Flips an object between the x and z axes.
FlipYZ: Flips an object between the y and z axes.
Transition: Implements a smoothly-accelerated move from one point to
another.
SmoothSeed & SmoothRand: Provides a random value that changes smoothly
over time.
Matrix: Facilitates the use of vactors in matrix transforms.
vmatrix: Allows mtrix transformation on individual points.
Stretch: Allows objects to be stretched along an arbitrary axis.
FindKnee: Got a leg, but can't find the knee? Help's here!
sgn: A function the POV-Ray team forgot!
You can find these Thoroughly Useful Macros all in one file at:

John,
I have already used your re-orient macro in my latest attempt for the IRTC. I spent
about
two days trying to to do it myself with separate rotations about x, y and z and, in
desperation, I thought - how about looking at John's macro's again - and there it was!
It works beautifully. Thanks a lot, your work has been duly acknowledged.
David
