I hate to be such a newbie, but I "discovered" POV-Ray about a week ago,
and am exploring the depths of its complexities.  Reading the
binaries.animations group (yes, I downloaded nearly the whole history of
that one... eek) I found a few references to "Superpatch."  Being a
programmer, I think "I gotta see this for myself."  So I do a search,
find the location of the superpatch site...  and fail to access it.

Is twysted.net down?  I've tried it for nearly 24 hours, and had no
luck.  I've been there before, last week, when I was looking at the
objects on that site.  I'm frustrated.  Gaaaaaaaa.

Is there a mirror site or an ftp location I can download it from
instead?  Please let me know.  Remember.  You were once a newbie too.

   I just tried it and yep it does appear to be off line right now.
Twyst's site has a history of going whacko about every 10 - 14 days
or so and shuold be back on line sometime today or tommorrow. I know
of no mirror sites for the patch other than the creator of the patch
Ron Parker probably has it available upon request from his site. If
you are impatient you could try to contact him for it. He is active
in the programming group on this server and you should have no problems
finding contact information for him there. If you are totaly impatient
I could probably send you a copy of my archive for it. I have the
executables archive and I think the documentation archive somewhere
around here.

I'm active here too. :)  Unfortunately, there is currently no mirror
on my personal site unless you want the source code.  I have plans to
remedy this whenever I get the 3.1e version put together.

Well this was 2 months ago :( and the situation does not seem to have
changed. Many people have webspace somewhere, so if Twyst is reading or
can be contacted, I definately think we should get the patchstation
running again. I am system administrator so maybe I can help somehow. I
could even run a mirror (at least for 1 year) if I only had the files.

  Twyst's computer he was using to run the site died a horrible death. He
was going to stop hosting any kind of Pov related site but has decided to
start bringing parts of it back on line. As far as I know he only has the
macrostation back up and running but I seemed to have misplaced the link
for that. He did mention at that time that he would accept help in setting
it up so you may wish to try offering your help. His announcement was made
in .general about a month ago.
