For years I've been wishing that binary file read/write commands
would be added to povray (I once has a pov-script that was
rendering audio data to a text file. I ended up writing it as
something like a uuencoded file and then having a separate
program to in turn convert that text file to the wave file).
However, it might is best that vinary I/O not be added.
Consider the ability to have a pov-script that in turn writes
a (binary) .exe file containing a virus? Or what is to stop
povray from overwriting the system password file, or
command.com?
