	Didn't you hear ? Some of us had a seance, we just wanted a chat with
Elvis, but it all went a bit wrong and we ended up pulling this poor thread
out from beyond the grave.

Actually, as an American, I was not aware that "minimized" with a z was
the official spelling in Queen's English. I knew about the "colour"
thing.

It's not too smart to complain to a group of people that give YOU this renderer for
free. Please do not screw it up for the rest of us by ticking them off, because it
would be an awful shame it I would not be able to further use Pov-Ray because it
requires money which I don't redily have.

  Hi, Chuck. You may want to set your Netscape browser to retrieve more
recent messages than the one you've replied to from 1998. From my
observations in these newsgroups, message threads much older than a few days
without further response are considered 'old news'.
