This is a very nice image indeed. A nice model of a snail like creature. I have
some experience with that by my own.

I would guess that it is an old image and not a modern rerendering of an old
scene file. The steam above the cup let me assume this, since it is not very
easy to convert the old halo-syntax into the media-syntax used now. But I'm
unaware of the exact date this switch was taken in POV.

If you find other old treasures on your ZIP-disks feel free to share them.

Best regards,
Michael
