Hello Ken,

I know this. But here is the "problem" : when you render a scene 
with 1) official version of Povray 2) UVpov6.2 3) Megapov,
you obtain 3 differents images for the normals!
I thought (and I think) that the bug for the normal was completly
corrected in UVpov6.2 so I ask if it is normal that UVpov6.2 and 
MegaPov 0.1 give different result for normals.

Fabian.
