Well, it uses the functions that the trace() POV-SDL function uses (the 
intersection methods accessed through the Intersect() macro). The 
Trace() function in the source code does something else, and there is no 
trace(). I know you know this, I'm just clearing it up for others.

Hmm, sounds interesting...did you ever release the POV version? It might 
be useable on a more modern machine.
