Hello Kevin,
The funny thing is that your post also appears as one long line here in
Outlook Express 5! What about my post? I'll just add some gibberish so you
can judge its length....

making both somewhat more difficult to read than they need be.  It's not a
big deal, just so you know.

If no tools designed as HF modelers exist, paint programs work in a
pinch, and POV-Ray works surprisingly well.  OK, maybe not surprisingly.

Nope, your post looks just fine.  I guess I'll just have to fiddle around
with Netscape and find a way to have it give line breaks every so often
regardless of the post I was replying to.

If you use NS 4.7: under the View menu, third section down, Wrap Long
Lines.

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for.

No. Wrong one. Sorry.

What that option really means is "Go ahead and do the incorrect thing when
displaying messages, in direct violation of the RFC's, just because some
programmers out there are too lazy to read the standards, or are trying to force
everyone to switch to proprietary software", but that wouldn't fit on the menu.

Seriously, that's just a display option to correct for broken posts from other
people. (i.e. it treats a symptom upon reciept, not fixes the cause upon sending)

Sometimes, all we can do is treat the symptoms.

Yes, but I choose not to hide the symptoms from myself. That way I can
help inform and enlighten others when they become infected.   :-)

How can an addict improve his situation if he does not first realize and
admit that he has a problem?

I notice that one recent IRTC winner used Terragen to generate the
background mountains, then simply imagemapped the resulting mountains
onto the back wall.

Terragen is very easy to use produces brilliant mountains, and, at this
stage of its development, is free for non-commercial use.

It's at http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/

When you glue the results into your POV scene you just need to be a bit
careful to ensure that the lighting directions and atmospheric effects
are reasonably similar.
