Hi James,
Thanks for answering my question(s) -- I have updated the src/cv/Rmakefile for
the next release. You can pick it up if you like from HEAD or using the CVS
interface at:
http://www.radiance-online.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ray/src/

Oops. Guess it was added right after the 4.0 release in response to some
difficulties with the MINGW build. You can pick it up from CVS if you want it,
or from HEAD.

If making a new release were less work, I would do it more often. As it is, it
takes days of my time, and I never get it quite right. I don't really make new
releases for bug fixes -- that's why we have HEAD. Since this bug has been
there for years and years, and only recently manifested due to some change in
FreeBSD, I don't think it affects all that many users. I do apologize for the
inconvenience, but the next release probably won't happen until sometime in
Spring.

Yes, sorry about that. As you have pointed out, the release process is a bit
haphazard.

Ah. The file "pinebark.hdr" picture should be in with the supplementary files
in the ray/lib directory:
http://www.radiance-online.org/software/non-cvs/rad4R0supp.tar.gz
Unfortunately, I didn't fix the references in the ray/obj/cabin directory --
sorry about that! I will fix it for the next release.
Thanks again for your help!
