Oops.  That file wasn't supposed to get out.  ;-)  Just delete it and all
will be well.  (It was a backup copy when I was making some changes... and
yes I do use source control, but I wanted that backup copy for a different
reason.)

It should still work.  I'll look into it.  Thanks for letting me know of
this potential problem.

See the Mpeg survey in povray.animations for opinion from others.

Yes, the code came from a DOS program, originally from a unix program, I
just smooshed it into MegaPov.

Hehe... I tried some post processing with mpeg output. It crashes horribly.
If I can figure out more out the PP code, I might be able to fix it. Maybe.

I'm thinking about. I posted a note in p.a and got mostly negative feedback.
If enough people want it I'll eventually put it up somewhere.

My compile has no message window garbage, um, "Rebuild All"? That's all I
got.

Not that I'm aware of.  I just checked it.  If you have problems, go
straight to ftp.povray.org.

Oh yes, of course, seems you or someone else had already said that before.

Likewise here.  Just the Blue Rock bitmap is still wrong somehow, which has
nothing to do with it I guess since it appears to be a graphic added into the
source files(?) along with the black marble one too.
I used the Gray_roc.bmp and shifted it's color to blue for a replacement of
that.

  Btw, you made an excellent job here. Taking the average of ambiguous
interiors is just a clever idea.
  It's the perfect answer to many requests.

Does this refer to the "plateau" effect? That would be good news.
