I'll let others answer this one (it both is and isn't a "programming
language").

Likewise this one too (how about the povray31.doc?).

Don't know why that would be.  It seems to have always done well enough for
me; in fact I've seen a worse preview than actual end output.  Might want to
check into using HamaPatch, a sPatch alternative:
