It doth persist even when switched. I thought of that when I first looked at
the code and checked that right away when I first rendered it. Important to
note is that the pigment is being applied to the object as it should be. The
only descrepency is that Pov is reporting the pigment warning without cause.

	That is perhaps my favorite warning message. Once I took the
time to correct it but once and forget what it was. Worrisome to
read but it does not affect the render so I try to ignore it. OK,
I've been warned but it renders as desired.

hi,

i'm using an older version of pov-ray (3.02) in
which "material" did not exist. i removed in your 
source the "material" blocks from the #declares 
and replaced "material" with "texture" where the 
material was used.
i got 0 warnings and 0 errors.

	y.

Thank you all: I only use texture now and all is fine. Thanks.
