Thanks for the info. Unfortunately dem2pov crashes with a floating-point
exception on every platform I tried it on using the dems (e.g. E100S10)
I grabbed. I even tried the Linux version ;(. Works fine with the demo
kirkland .DEM file.

I suppose it doesn't like something about those particular files. I'll
have to take some time some day and debug it.
