I said it works this way "every since there has been POV-Ray", ***not***
that it always worked this way only in POV-Ray 3.1.  How about actually
reading what I say before picking on it???

Please don't take half of my sentence away and then put words in my mouth.
I said "However, as it hasn't been needed in 15 years and I don't remember a
patch for it or any suggestion for such a patch." and it is quite obvious
what I mean if you read the sentence and maybe the whole paragraph to the
*end*.

have to admit I don't know where from memory and I don't have time to look
right now...
