Rats - I just read the note on the function { pigment { ... } } addition
to the latest superpatch release. I hadn't noticed this before and it
can probably duplicate my patch's efforts and do more besides. Well, I
suppose the programming practice was good for me, and it forced me to
figure out how to get PoV-Ray compiled with the Cygnus compiler ...

Hi Mick,
Ron's released his generic superpatch source - he gives the URL in his
second reply to the 'We need Fresnel reflectance.' thread on
povray.programming. The compilation is up to you :-)

I won't tell you about the makefile and code patches I posted
to povray.binaries.programming a few days ago to do just that,
because it might upset you even more. Though, to be fair,
those were for a console-mode version. If you have a GUI-version
makefile for Cygwin, I'd be interested in seeing it.

I'm not sure "released" is the right word. They've been there for a
long time now. I just finally told the world where to find them.
The good news is, we have a long weekend approaching and I might be
able to find a large enough block of time to finish the documentation
and put the binaries online at last. My documentation guy seems to
have disappeared, so it won't be as nice as I had hoped, but it will
at least be there. And, by popular request, I have thrown MS Word in
the trash.

Hi Ron
As I neither have the facilities or the knowledge to complile my own copy I
would love to know if you are planning to produce a windows compile as you
did before?

Of course. In fact, I have one already, except for the splash screen.
I don't have the 3.1e GUI source yet, but this one might work with the
3.1e editor anyway (no guarantees, though. It works for me, so far.)
I just need to add a splash screen, rewrite some parts of the docs,
and make a web page to put it on now that twysted.net is down. That
part is the hard part, because I'm such a perfectionist that I won't
be able to abide a simple white-background-black-text-no-graphics
webpage.

I know what you mean I tend to have the same problem - but I also lazy so
life is a battle between getting it done well and getting it done at all!
I look forward to the update of superpatch it has become indispensible to
me. Most of the pics I have done recently have used it extensively and would
not have been either possible or as good without it.
Keep up the great work
Mick

That's kinda good. So what format are they in now? .txt? .html?

Probably .txt until I get some more time to go to some other
format. I'm thinking docbook or texinfo for the source, translated
to text or html as needed.
