Recently I have received several requests for information regarding the DBWrender ray tracing program due to an erroneous posting to INFO-AMIGA. I must appologize for my lack of information on this subject since, contrary to that posting, I am not a registered user of this program. I do intend to send Mr. Wecker the suggested $18 (US) shareware contribution, but I have not done so yet because I have not had any time in the past 4 months since I recieved the March 15, 1987 version to actually use this program (PhD supervisors can really cut into your fun just by asking you to do some work). There have been rumors of a more recent version of this program. I suggest that anyone who is interested should write to the author for more information. Here is the address I have: Dave B. Wecker 115 Palm Springs Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80908 ARPA: wecker%cookie.dec.com@decwrl.dec.com USENET: decwrl.dec.com!cookie.dec.com!wecker Best of luck, Kevin Dooley DOOLEY@UTORPHYS (bitnet) dooley@helios.physics.utoronto.ca (uucp)

I've had DBW_Render 2.0 for a while, now, like 6 months or a year. Much improved, by the way. There is a new script language for scene definitions that saves a lot of tedious work. However, Dave is not supporting it alone any longer. It is being distributed by someone else, reportedly due to a conflict of interest with Dave's employer. The name and address is: William T. Baldridge 2650 Sherwood Lane Pueblo, CO 81005 Registration for version 2.0 is $36, or $18 for version 1.0 owners. [I have no affiliation with Dave Wecker or William Baldridge except as a satisfied customer.] -- ------------ Eric Kennedy ejkst@cisunx.UUCP
