Hi,

that was the 'piece-of-cake' part for the 'bloody user'.

I tried Ingo's advice separating location and angle. Whatever I did Povray
complained ("Float expected, but ... found instead" or "Bad operand for dot
expression"). Now I know why he warned me with <untested code>.
Will still investigate where I took the wrong turn.

I had a look at your 'queues.inc'. I'm still goggle-eyed with my mouth agape!

I wouldn't say the demos suck - maybe a bit too 'academic' or not 'descriptive'.

Still I have to chew on LIFO and maybe can digest it - not sure - that's for
sure.

But I will not give up.

My objective is to get that Lparser thing working with Povray (or die). Forget
the last words.

regards, Droj
