Matrix reference link in the File Format document - Orion Pobursky - 2020-06-14

Code:
There are many on-line references about transformation matrices, one such reference
is <a href="http://enphilistor.50megs.com/matrix.htm">The POV-RAY Matrix Page</a>

This link in File Format 1.0.2 is broken. Anyone have a suitable replacement?

By the far the most helpful resource I have found (albeit in Google-translated French) is:

together with the relevant sections of:

I strongly suspect that this is an archive copy of the page we linked to before:

https://www.oocities.org/evilsnack/matrix.htm

Having said that, it's probably not a great idea to link to the above. What about the following one?

I found that one and thought the same thing

That's a good one. I'll use that.
