Am I correct in assuming the Yaroze cannot do true parallel
projection?  I looked at George's tutorial and his "Parallel vs.
Perspective" chapter does it by setting the projection distance to a
large value.

Second question.  Are there any consequences of simulating parallel
projection this way?  Will I get strange problems if I set the
projection distance too high (overflow, underflow, etc.)?  Or is it
"just another number in a matrix"?
