problem, but the dots cover a very small area and the problem could be
resolved in an image-editing problem. That's not the Pov-Ray way, though.


sure is bloated.  Also, any suggestions on removing the black dots.

help the problem and really slowed down render times.  A Google search
revealed a patch for the Linux version of Pov-Ray that was supposed to

program.  I use the Windows version.

Thanks, in advance, for any help.
