To All:

We have started collecting ideas for How Do I's for our POV Ray book
underway (POV Ray Bible).

These How Tos are short tutorials on how to do a speciifc task in POV Ray
and are fun to write. Things like How Do I Make a Cloud, How Do I Make an
Explosion, etc.

If you are interested in contributing a How To from any work you have done
in the past, or even something new, please contact me at mit### [at] dnaicom
and I will set you up on the mailing list for the book and show you what we
have so far.

thanks

Mitch

mistake.

Just because it was designed X way doesn't mean I can't get it
to do Y...what's the old addage?  "If it doesn't fit, use a
bigger hammer"?

I don't understand this message. Who is "he" and what "link" have you posted
3 times. What is the point?

Is there some problem with this posting? It has generated responses to me,
so I assumed it must be in the right place. I don't believe this post fits
in frequently asked questions, and moreover I have yet to see any activity
in that list, the last date of a message there was dated 4/17/01. If there
is a better place let me know.

Mitch
