Oh yes. I'm aware ot this 'problem', but it's impossible to fix (only work 
around would be to have straight-upwards plant something like in version 1, 
without nice rotation to left).

To raly correct this I must change macro bulding method from recursion to 
iterational, and then add code to translate next segment [family/root] to 
tuche end of current segment. Or better - create it into memory array 
first, correct/re-attach all segments, then output .pov.

This sould be done in external program best (i.e. short C program)... not a 
chance that any version would fit into SCC3 ;) Even if I cheated a little 
and did some work around for this specyfic fractal (translate root of each 
family depending of it's recursion level) it would not fit in SCC3... 

but  hey, we are *under water* so the gravity isnt such a big problem here 
;)
