Hi graphics gurus,
I am a newcomer to ray tracing but have been dabbling with graphics
for a long time.  I would like to learn a bit about ray tracing but don't 
know where to start (I have a 16Mhz 386 IBM-PC clone with EGA on my desk).
Could someone direct me to either of the above programs (preferably PD)
and/or a reference on this subject?  Thanks in advance!

Kevin
