I'm sorry for breaking my reply up intp little pieces, but for an unnown
reason I'm not able to post any long message to Lugnet for the past 4 days.

I started a discussion on the .dev group regarding sphere tesselation a
little while back, and it came out that there is some dissatisfaction with
the current sphere primitive.  I have finished the code which generates a
replacement sphere primitive, and hacked together a little routine to output
it to a .dat file.  Below is the result.

Please note that I have not yet generated linetype 5 lines.  I will only go
to the trouble to do that if there is interest in using my generated version
as a replacement for the original one.  I generated the data to 3 decimal
places.  Is this an appropriate number?

Please make that 4 decimal places, for all the other curved primitives that
the 1-8sphe.dat primitive could possibly border with, have a resolution of 4
decimal places behind the dot.
