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.

It does, but watch out, because it can cause scenes, especially ones using
media with patterned density, to act differently than they used to.

My best regards for 0.5!

I found that next three lines  2345, 2346 and 2347
are unnecessary in file parse.c
In case that I miss the numbers:
 In function --Parse_Disc-- and enclosed in --#else-- and --#endif--
/* Calculate info needed for ray-disc intersections */
   VDot(Object->d, Object->center, Object->normal);
   Object->d = -Object->d;

And why:
in --Compute_Disc-- we have --Transform_Disc--
--Transform_Disc-- recalculate d.

Little feature request:
 disc{ <1,2,3>,<4,5,6>  } to be same as disc{ <1,2,3>,<4,5,6>, 1  }
Default radius is 1.0

I was try to made it, but...

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer a default radius of 0.5? That would
provide a "unit disc", with a *diameter* of 1. That seems more useful
to me.

Later,
Glen Berry
