Hey Chris!

Thanx, I already have your ACM macro installed but forgot all about it. In
fact I downloaded all of your stuff more then a year ago (and when upgrades
came available I downloaded them again). Your stuff is cool. I'm no math whiz
and those include and macro files really help a lot.
For this particular animation I'm doing I'm using your Lens-FX and Galaxy
include files as well. It's gonna be cool and I'll upload an image and an
animation into their respective binary group when the complete animation is
done.

Thanks for your reply.

PS.: Although I haven't showed you much, I 'm still working on that
pyrotechniques with POV-Ray stuff we E-mailed about some time ago. Actually
this animation has got something to do with that!
