POV (Persistance Of Vision) is a very sophisticated raytracing program,
which is based on the old DKB raytracer (I think). It generated several
file formats (targa, ppm(?), raw, .dmp), and is perhaps the most complex
although not the slowest raytracer you can get for free. It can even
map GIFs on surfaces etc.

PS: I've been asked to send the original distribution and diffs to
	atari.archive, I'll see what I can do... I could also upload
	ca. 6Mb of zoo-ed .raw pictures (24 bit 320x200) that can
	be displayed with Photochrome - these were generated from the
	sample 'scene' files that come with POV.
