Yep, my email listed the default location for the cal files; glad yu  
sorted i out with the alternate location you have there.  The third  
line above is not only redundant, but also is including your enire  
search path in the RAYPATH variable.  THis is not necessarily bad,  
but bear in mind that Radiance will be searching a lot of additional  
locations for cal files, which may not be what you want.  SInce the  
CWD and then the main lib directory come first on the RAYPATH the way  
you have it set up, you should be ok, but II just thought I'd point  
it out.
