	Thanks ;-)
	Source code is given on the IRTC website (www.irtc.org)
if you look to the July-August 1998 results for still images;
alternatively you can get the .zip directly from here:

http://oz.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/1998-08-31/afterain.zip

	Beware that it needed more than 4 days to render on a
fast machine at that time (was a Digital Alpha) because of the
atmosphere effect combined to focal blur. I didn't tried to
render it again, but it should be at least as long on a PC
PIII/500. Could be a little faster if using +ul switch to turn
on light buffers, but then it requires about 250 MB of memory :-)
	For more details:
