[some information about Java-IOand how df3 may only be single-byte per
voxel]

Thanks for the information. I'll see what I can cook up with that once I get
the time.

A few weeks (or maybe months) ago, there had been a thread about df3 and if
POV-Ray couldn't "burn" df3 files from an object. An idea I had was to write
a POV-Script which would sample the voxels and write the densities to disk
(which would be more or less 0 or 1 values). A Java-Application could read
the data and convert it to df3 for faster usage within POV. Though the
sampling inside POV would be slow, the resulting file-conversion would speed
things up for later usage.

Regards,
Tim
