Does someone have the site for this one? I'd like to see what it does...

As I was walking to St. Ives,
I met a man with 7 wives.
Each wife had 7 sacks.
Each sack had 7 cats.
Each cat had 7 kits.
How many were going to St. Ives?

You sure you're not talking about a X program for Linux OS? POV-Ray for
Linux is apparently one such program.
I know this X-Pov thing was mentioned somewhere else but I failed to
locate the posting to see what it was called exactly. Internet search
results weren't succesful, except to find a page concerning Linux and X
programs.

How many what were going to St. Ives ? If you suggest people then
the answer is still only one. At least as far as those listed. It
is quite possible many others were on their way to St. Ives but
the criptic nature of the verse does not give rise to suffecient
data to confirm or deny the implication otherwise.

Again someone talking about Linux when he should talk about Unix.
If a Unix program works in Linux, that doesn't make it a Linux program.
If my ANSI C program works in Windows, that doesn't make it a Windows
program (or Unix or Linux or SunOS or OS/2 whatever).

Very good, Mr. Tyler. You have solved the riddle... (= Now I have to
find another one...
The problem arises in the way it was written. It states that someone was
going to St. Ives, yet does not clarify on if the man, and wives, and
cats, and kits may have been going in that direction. At least, that's
how I see it. So, AFAIK, it has to be one.

What, you didn't see the disclaimer about me having no knowledge of "X",
Linux, Unix or otherwise ?:) Oops, yes, I see it didn't show up as part of
my signature... so sorry.
Anyway, I failed to locate any such POV-Ray compile as mentioned, only
lot's of these other "X" things. A page I was referring to in particular
stated Linux along with the X programs. There's my inept excuse. Btw,
isn't it obvious how dumb I am? Um, please don't answer that.
