I seem to have missed the initial short povray code contest email.
Could someone please send me the details. Thanks.

Yes it's cool for you to run it.   I'm honored that a "hero of raytracing"
might pick up and run with something I conceived.

It's funny however that the web version (sorry, Ken)  has left out a line
from my posting on one of the rules, giving it a different meaning.  A
reworded version is below:

1) Each entrant would create an artistic image using less than 250 bytes of
povray 3.5 SDL.  Minimum number of characters allowed however is 8 (as in
box{1,0}).  Reason: we believe this is the smallest functioning line of
actual povray SDL.  Although this generates a "black image",  we don't want
a bunch of smart alecks to submit black scenes made of nothing but comments.


Of course Paul you can make up your own rules.  I also think it's cool to
invite some non-raytracers to vote on the images-- their non-jaded views of
what's trite improve the experience for everyone.
