Is "box.pov" a scene with reflection. I do render it, but the reflect()
function is not called because I define an "ofstream" object "output" in
reflect() function. The exact code is "ofstream output("C:\\out.dat");".And
then render "box.pov",however, no "out.dat" formed. What's wrong?

Thanks a lot.
