Yes, I'm aware of this chapter in the Advanced Tutorial... I currently 
work myself through the whole tutoral to learn POV-Ray *systematically* 
for the first time in my life... but I have not arrived at "A Raytracer" 
yet. Very intriguing!

There also is a quite instructive German Data Becker textbook from the 
1980s on programming a raytracer on the Amiga, which I would like to try 
out in the more distant future... rather for portation to the Atari ST 
or the Commodore 64 than doing it on the Amiga, as re-portating POV-Ray 
to the Amiga means carrying coals to Manchester!

By the way, I wonder whether David K. Buck knew of this Data Becker 
textbook when programming DKB-Trace back then...

See you in Khyberspace!
