Subject: Imagine 3.0 not in Oz, and what's this with reflections ?

Well here I am, on a Monday night here in Australia and no Imagine 3.0. :-(
Bummer.

But, I wanted to ask a little question here...

It has been posted on here that in Imagine 3.0 in scanline mode, 
reflective objects are not reflecting the ground object.

Now, a lot of people have posted answers saying that this only works in 
Trace mode like it always did.
People should really check things first before shooting their mouth 
(fingers) off. Since at least v1.1 reflective objects in scanline mode 
reflected the ground object. This is also documented in the manual 
(either 1.1 or 2 or both).
If you're one of those people who got Imagine via AF offer then try 
things first before commenting.

Anyway, what does the v 3 manual say about this ? Is it documented ?
If not it MAY be a bug. A STUPID bug if that is what it is since this 
feature has worked since the earliest days.

I'd contact Impulse about this, but I don't have my version yet and they 
do not answer to overseas Faxes anyway.

So, what is it: A bug or not ?

Anyway, v3 starts shipping and people are talking about it less than 
about v 2.9! Must be those finals on the Northern hemisphere. :-)

Nik.
