optik.exe is a Windows 95/NT port of the optik raytracer with some enhancements. These enhancements include some minor code fixes and the ability to emit Windows 24 bit uncompressed BMP format bitmaps. This is implemented as an option in the optik command line. Eg. option format bmp. For more information, use the command "help option format" in the optik command line. Optik right now is still buggy and may crash. If anyone is interested in fixing the original code, you can download the source files optiksource.zip.
