I did upload the bmp.  It just had the extension changed to .ico :)

If you want to see the original .bmp, change the file name from 
Classic_Icon.ico to Classic_Icon.bmp.

The reason I didn't encode it to .jpg is that I couldn't see the point 
with a 3k image.  If I had rendered it at 800x800 or somesuch, then yes, 
I'd have jpeg'd it.

For those who are interested in such things, it took 6 minutes 29 seconds 
for the 32x32 image to render on a PII-300, mainly because of AA0.01, 9x9 
samples, and maximum depth of 5...

Hohum, thanks for the comments anyway.  And just for you, I'll post the 
entire 1.3k .jpg <grin>

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Nope. For my part, I have the icon of Mega-POV, so I don't even remember
the icon of POV. Why didn't you use it, or even the one called
"shapes.ico" or something like that, quite strange (which is now used as
the icon for the files with the extension .pov)?

Because I have not installed Mega-POV yet.

(And I don't think I will as long as it remains many interesting features in

"standard" POV that I have not explored yet.)

I wasn't aware of that one
