Not in a future one; it's in the current one. Though if you don't
already have the current one you never will...

I really need to run that SuperPatch more often then ;) or rather read the DOC for it.
I've just been using things I heard existed and doing a quick search for the feature
without reading through. I'm one of those slow to move along to the new stuff anyway.
Good thing I guess because I won't be d/l'ing the latest SP until tonight I guess and
I
saw about the "bugs"; sorry to hear about them, for your sake.

These things happen. Not a really big deal. I feel more sorry
for the folks who spent all that time downloading a buggy version.

Nah, if nothing else those earlybirds helped you catch those worms
(bugs). Nothing like a POV-Ray user base to test a patched compile.

Ron, don't worry too much about those. We'll keep helping getting them
ferretted out.
Besides, in court today the government's software expert revealed that
in the code for Windows 98 that he looked at ( about 1/7 of the total),
he found 3,000 bugs marked by Microsoft programmers.
3,000
And that was just the ones marked in the code. Ouch.
Superpatch seems rock-solid by comparrison.

He might also think of "sphere sweeps". They are the objects that you get,
when you sweep a sphere along a spline. Jochen Lippert implemented them
and as far as I know his code is also included in the superpatch.

As Thomas mentioned, sphere sweeps are also included in the superpatch:

I am aware that it is included with the super patch sir. I posted link
as an online source of information that describes in detail the sphere sweep
process so the original poster might decide for him/her self if the application
was one that would be applicable to his/her needs.

Good idea. I was actually following up to Thomas but I didn't want
to be bothered with hitting esc-p to get back to his message. I
didn't mean to impugn your reputation.
