It's not uncommon today to refer to software in scientific publications. It's
sometimes done by citing the manual like in :
Statistical Analysis System Institute, Inc., 1987. SAS/STAT Guide for Personal
Computers, Version 6 edn. Sas Institute, Inc., Cary NC.
It could be something like that :
Cason C. et al., 1999. Persistence of Vision Raytracer Version 3.1. POV-TEAM.
I hope this helps.

I know that Angew. Chem. the chemistry journal allows you to say things
like....
"Images created using POVRay v. 3.1"
Check out any issue with the cool covers and look at the masthead.
Surprisingly, many chemists use pov in conjunction with povchem to
render molecular images.

In my papers, I put in the acknowledgements section:
"The POV-Ray 3.1 rendering package was used for
many illustrations in this paper."

This message is a reply to that message - if you look at the end of the subject
line you will see "was Re:How can I cite POVRAY in" ( the "literature" bit got
cut off somehow (Damn netscape))
