Just a quick question, can pov, on, say, *unix, be coaxed into
reading povfiles from stdin instead of +I.... ? it occured to
me while archiving/holding a s**t load of mp3's for a friend that
I had more memory than diskspace and was just curious ...


TIA

  Yes it can.  With the "-i-" option.  You can also output the
resulting image file to stdout with the "-o-" option.  Useful for
pipelines...
