> For the sake of fond memories, here are two more pictures from DKBTrace:


Windows" that was developed circa 1992 by Andreas Stabinger? It came with a 
simple GUI modeller and was released commercially in Germany and France (at 
least). It costed about 20 euros It was sold with a little booklet 
explaining the basics of raytracing.
I used it a couple of times before moving to POV-Ray, which was much more 
sophisticated. For instance, POV-Ray (and DKBTrace) had a checker texture so 
it was possible to create a RSOCP directly. In Raytrace, one had to model 
and position each checker square separately as seen here

Attached is a scan of the original box. It says "Immediate, powerful, 
simple, fast!"
