There are a whole bunch of ways of answering this question; you might want Neil’s fantastic ray-traced version, or just the simple paths. In case it’s helpful, here’s the original postscript file generated by Shriram, Robby, and Matthew. Oh, wait, here’s the comment from the file:

%%Title: PLT Lambda
%%Creator: Matthew, then Shriram, finally Robby
%%CreationDate: June 24, 1997
%%For: PLT

(NB: Apple Mail tries to render this as an image, pretty badly. Save the attachment to read it.)
