[Radiance-general] Re: Upgrading to R4: "There were some errors."

[Greg Ward]

I'm puzzled by this as well.  The use of the new "-n" option for  
rtrace shouldn't affect whether it can find .cal files or not.  I  
suspect that something else changed between tests, such as the setting  
of the RAYPATH environment variable.
