Ray tracing anyone?

I've been writing some elementary ray-tracing programs based on
Whitted (communications of the ACM june 1980).

Since I haven't been a very regular reader of this group in the
past, I wondered if there have been any postings of such sources
in the recent past.  If anyone remembers such stuff, could s/he
please forward the stuff to me, and if not, would there be any
interest in seeing such sources here?  I warn you that this is
fairly simple-minded stuff, but is at least a starting place for
someone who doesn't know too much and wouldn't mind hacking at
it a bit more to make more sophisticated images.
