Well, I finally finished the new version of NKFlare (realistic lens flare
include file for POV 3.1).  The new URL is:

http://www.megsinet.com/~nkopp/nkflare.htm

There have been a bunch of changes (some of which are noted on the web site).
This version is designed for POV 3.1 and thus will not work with 3.0x (it uses
arrays).

Can't wait to try it out, great going Mr. Kopp.
You need to fix your page there though:

src="file:///C:/Webpages/NewFlare/TITLE.jpg"

Image is not showing up. Disk C: huh? j/k

I too thank you Mr. Kopp.
And as Bob mentioned the image was missing
when I visited your site.

I guess that's what I get for using FrontPage instead of hand-coding the HTML
file.  When will the makers of web-page generators ever learn that nobody but
myself has access to my hard disk drive and I want relative addresses on my
images?  Sorry for the rant... just a little frustrated.  [the worst part is
that I didn't notice it because that URL exists on my computer... ;) ]

Anyway, it's fixed now

Well, that really depends on what other Microsoft products you're using don't it
now? ;)

A "sort-of" explanation:
FP changes links when you copy&paste them from one page to another in the
editor. This is a good feature most of the time. For example: You have a
link on a page that links to an image in the same folder. Like
href="myimage.gif", and you copy that link into a page that is in a
subfolder. Since the image is then in a different folder than the page
containing the link to it, the link is changed (to something like
href="../myimage.gif") so that it is not broken. As said: Usually a good and
desirable thing.
The problem is, sometimes you don't *want* links to be changed: For example,
if "myimage.gif" exists in the subfolder too, and you *want* to link to this
other image.
In those cases, do *not* copy the link with copy&paste in the "normal" edit
mode, but go to HTML-view mode instead, and copy it there. If copied in
HTML-mode links are copied verbatim and are not changed...

Hope it helps a bit,
Johannes.
