You will also need http://www.faricy.net/~davidf/macros2.inc

Yes, there is a typo in the attached filename :O

        Thank you for posting the source to the facet torus!
        I get errors (povray doesn't like "vangle") trying to
render the file.  Are you using one of those "unofficial"
versions of povray?

David:

Actually, I got macros2.inc right after I downloaded
and read your faceted torus source from the news
server.

The specific error that stops povray is the lack
of a "vangle" function/macro.  Strangly enough, "vangle"
(whatever it is) is not in your macros2.inc file.
I would just write my own vangle (thanks to povray
I've had to re-learn a lot of trig) .. but I'm not
clear on what vangle does.   :-(

Is it the angle between two vectors?

Yes, sorry, it doesn't seem to have gotten updated. I've gone ahead and
fixed it.
