Hello Mike.

Sorry for the delay - I'm multitasking, installing the boost libraries,
compiling the povray 3.7 beta (with problems), trying out ideas,
presenting the image on TC-IRTC, entering scores, reading mail, etc...

Anyway, -MB is horribly slow (I think - nothing appeared on the screen
after a minute or so, though the CPU is at 100%) with the object present.
In fact, I doubt if anything will come out of that.

I tried with the normal +MB25, but also with +MB1 and several other
values. It shouldn't matter, there are 40800 items in the scene, way over
any minimum number.

Ok. after 2'20", the first line appeared. 5'04" second line. This is
probably take too long to be of use, but I'll leave it a couple of hours
to see if the problem is solved.

Cheers,
John
