Since Netscape can't be made (as far as my limited GUI knowledge
extends) to include a .inc file as anything other than text (without
encoding, e.g., this part, as text also), I have sent my latest (read: 
"one more feature and then I'm done, no, really, I mean it this time,
seriously") version of platonic.inc to povray.text.scene-files.  It
works with the previously-posted soliddemo.pov (although the shadows
look much neater if the light is at <0, 50, 0> and parallel).

Yes, I know I said

Upon closer examination, none of them fit my work exactly, and thus
would have broken some of my scenes.  So I went ahead and fixed and
cleaned up my platonic.inc file instead of fixing my existing .pov
files.  Selective laziness, I guess.

Side note:  POV-Ray is the most fun I've had with computers since I
discovered Forth on the Palm OS.  Making this include file is the most
fun I've had with POV-Ray so far.  I love this, even though it's
nigh-useless.
