The computer gods are working against me on that mpg1 thing.

Most of the links to CMPEG on povray.org were broken, no other software I 
know of works to convert still images to mpg, coverting from avi to mpg is 
kind of a bad solution, and once I did manage to download CMPEG I can't 
quite get it to work. It refuses to open my TGA files. "Couldn't open 
'attracters001.tga'" 
oh well. I don't have all day to waste on figuring out why. Sorry :/

as for trace, that's not a bad idea, but it will only work if there's 
objects there that can coorespond to points, I think. and that won't always 
be the case if I am to turn those points into surfaces rather than spheres.

Though it does give me some options to explore.  I have continued ideas in 
the P.A group.
