I understand that it is not possible with the current primitives due to
that fact that they are text primitives. Still, I think that it would be
interesting to have this possibility with extra primitives (like a
POV-script write_char/read_char accepting any byte value). I spoke of
DF3 files because that's what I had in mind, but there is plenty of
examples where this could be usefull, like model conversion from pov to
any other utility for example audio files and so on (pov-guys
imagination is endless it seems).
There's always the possibility to run an extra converter program but it
would be so nicer to have this built-in. I hope it will be possible in
some future version of our beloved POVRAY. :-)
