True, but you've then got less output to wade through when things don't work

Unfortunately, that's exactly where we seem to be getting problems. As soon 
as I comment out the superellipsoid bits in greebletest.pov everything runs 
perfectly

I shall carry on trying to figure out exactly where your code produces the 
Singular Matrix error (b4 anyone mentions it I already know that MInvers is 
a function in matrices.cpp and that it's the only place in the source code 
that generates a Singular Matrix error)

BTW Zeger, none of the above is a criticism of you or your coding. I 
actually think that the concept is brilliant; I'm just having problems with 
the implementation.
