Hi!

Once I tried to modify POV source code to make possible to map an image
with the
spherical wrapping with repetitions. (Sp the image can be tiled on the sphere).
It worked under some conditions but often I got errors and crashes.
Since I'm not extremly skilled in programming and my knowledge of POV
source code
is less than minimal, why no one ever did such (pretty simple, trust me)
extremly useful update to the code?

I wrote at least ten mails to Alexander Enzmann, who wrote the original
mapping code but never received any answer.
