You know, POV-Ray is a raytracer not... everything.
It is supposed to take script as input with SDL and produce image as output.
Writing binary files with SDL is like writing viruses with it - erhaps
possible but more efficient with external, specialized tool.
For example in my case I can export all values as text and produce proper df3
file with external tool written in any free compiler. The problem is my
laziness :-)
