Recently, the ftp archive of raytracing stuff was moved from our dying VAX-750 (drizzle.cs.uoregon.edu) to our new fileserver, which is called skinner.cs.uoregon.edu, or just cs.uoregon.edu. There is more diskspace available, and I have expanded the archives to contain several new items. I thought I would post the README here to let people know of its availability. skinner.cs.uoregon.edu contains information largely dealing with the subject of raytracing, although a radiosity tracer or solid modeler would be a welcome addition to the contents there. I am always busy looking for new software aquisitions, so if you have anything you wish to put there, feel free to send me a note.
