sorry Andrew my Imagine 2.0 versions (both PC and Amiga) seem to
/ be not affected of the 'scaling bug' Ya say. Notice that math
|| sphere (function/add/sphere option) cannot be scaled in only
/ one axis. Hope this could help Ya.
BTW I'm waiting for an uuencoded object (the one Ya've
/ problem), if Ya want!!! TESI2@NOVELL.DIMA.UNIGE.IT
