Steve

Im new to POV-Ray community and have noticed your correspondance with Nicholas
Shea over TesselSphere.  I have looked for this application for some time and
all links are dead ends.  Nicholas' own site at tiscali.. had diappeared as
well as all the links to source on OpenGL forum.

You were discussing running Window's XP version.  Did you succeed?  And have you
maintained correspondance with Nicholas?   I'm interested in getting a copy of
this program (also XP) for some research I am doing.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
