Damian, Thanks for your help. It seems that surface seams are the worst.

What I'd really like to see is a NURBS primitive in POV. Anybody else? There
seems to be a lot of resistance to the idea, but I don't understand why. So
old-schoolers with their hand-written code won't have any use for it, but
who cares? If they don't want it they don't have to use it. I'm not asking
anybody to program the code for the primitive, I'll do it myself. Hopefully
others would be interested enough to help.

Dave.
