Since I like to send my POV images to friends who use both PCs and Macs, I
decided to strike a "compromise" with the gamma settings.

I decided on 2.0 (the average between the Mac's 1.8 and the PC's 2.2), both
as an assumed_gamma AND in all of my QUICKRES.INI entries. This way, I can
be pretty sure my images will look *almost* the way they should, no matter
who gets 'em.

Of course, with modern computers and monitors, anyone can now fiddle around
with the gammas to suit themselves, which sounds like a recipe
for...chaos!!!  :-)
