[Radiance-general] behind the scenes detailed manual

[Randolph M. Fritz]

The Radiance calcuations are covered in Greg's papers on Radiance, many 
of what you can find on his web site at 
<http://anyhere.com/gward/papers.html>.  A tutorial overview is given 
in the book *Rendering with Radiance* which you can buy from, well, 
me--e-mail if you are interested.

For the specifics of the IES light source calculations the code, I 
think, is the best reference.  Look in the ies2rad man page, ies2rad.c, 
and source.cal.
