WELL!!

I'm embarrassed to say that my CRT monitor was *not* well-calibrated, when I
*thought* it was OK. I followed the procedure on that page (and also re-ran my
'Adobe gamma' app, as well as looking again at POV-Rays' gamma documentation
image), and the results are MUCH better-- I can now see the details in the two
..png's that I posted about. (Before, in FractRacer's image, I couldn't see any
details in the background-- the mountain and the dark blue sky were nearly
black!)

Lesson learned: I shouldn't assume that my system is always running perfectly
:-O

So sorry to give FractRacer and Pekka Aho a false impression of their images.

Thanks, everyone, for helping me out with this. I'll be MUCH more careful in the
future ;-)
