Hi, folks,

I'm still recovering from a hard disk crash and, as usual, there is one
file I lost in the repairs:  Roundbox.inc by (author unknown to me).
I searched thru Ken's bookmarks and could not find it anywhere. 

Anybody, PLEASE, if you have a copy of this INC file post it here or
email it to me.

Thanxs in advance,
Blessings,
           Brendan

I don't know about an include file with that name, but there are some
macros for this purpose.

One is in Chris Huff's macro collection IIRC:

http://chrishuff.dhs.org/povstuff.html

Furthermore there is one available on Ken's site:

http://home.pacbell.net/tylereng/index.html

A third one i found here was from David Fontaine, i no more know where i
got it from. :-)

Look in the macro collection.

I don't think that site is still accessible, use the mac.com one...and I 
am no longer doing anything with that macro collection. A better 
suggestion might be to go to the Thoroughly Useful Macros 
collection...which is probably accessible from Ken's link page.

I already wondered why it's not on your mac.com site, but it's still
available and also listed in Ken's links.

I downloaded your collection...no RoundBox...sorry!

>...also listed in Ken's links.

I followed all the links on Ken's great site...found a link to the
author's site...got 404'd...really sorry!

My modernist house project has now come to a full, terminal halt without
RoundBox.
Oh, well, I'll keep hoping someone has a copy stashed away
somewhere...or knows an active link to a site with it.

Thank you all for your prompt help!
Maybe this is a sign I should try some new, non-architectural project!

Blessings,
           Brendan

http://www.povray.org/links/POV-Ray_Include_Macro_and_Object_Files/Macro_Files/

There is the first one in the list:

'58 Macro File Utilities' directly from Ken's site including a rounded box
macro.

and

'Chris Huff's Macro Collection' which is no more maintained as he
mentioned.

and

'Rounded Box Macro'

so i don't see any problems finding something.  All these links work
without problems.

In this case you can also code it yourself from scratch... ;-)

Here's one I did some time ago.

  What is an "angle radius"?
