(11/6/06) -- A couple people noted that if you are using the ray tracing framework under Visual Studio.NET, there is a compile error about a redeclaration of the function "exit". This is due to some strangeness regarding order of #include files in OpenGLInterface.cpp. You can fix this by either downloading the updated copy I've posted or by placing "#include "raytracer.h"" before "#include < GL/glut.h >"
