There's at least one other way of doing it:

Use your 'usual' camera set-up, like this for example...

camera{ location  <20,40,28>
        right     x*image_width/image_height // keeps the scene's object
// proportions the same, with any .ini file aspect ratio
        look_at   <0,2,0>
        angle 67
      }

.... then change your output image resolution (in your QUICKRES.INI file) to make
a panorama-aspect image. Instead of a 16:9 ratio, use a (16*3):9 ratio. By
itself, that will produce a long length/short height image, cutting off the top
and bottom of the scane, but with the scene's objects still looking correct. To
fix that-- to get the scene's vertical field-of-view back to where it should
be-- simply change the camera's ANGLE to take in more of the scene; a
wider-angle 'lens', in other words. There is probably a simple(?) formula for
choosing the correct angle-- but I don't know what it is, off-hand. OR, you
could move the camera back in space, and leave the angle as-is.
