Is there any documentation for how to use/construct df3
files?  I tried looking at the spiral.df3 in the pov
include dir but it's a binary file.

Sorry, awkward wording of my question.  Is there anything I
can use to create/edit a df3 file other than using notepad
and the df3Maker program I found which converts ascii csv
into df3 files?  I want to make an emitting media computer
display, and want a df3 file with dimensions x,y,1 where x
and y are arbitrary sizes and the data is from an image.

You can borrow some of the techniques I used to create the clouds here.
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources13.htm
In a nutshell, create tga files with povray by slicing your object in an
animation and put the files together with tga2df3. I did some neon signs
that way from ttf fonts, it's pretty straightforward.

see, that's what i'm looking for...also a crazy idea occured
to me...to make an animation on a rendered computer monitor
by stacking frames of a video along the z-axis of a df3, and
stepping the texture along a path intersected by the media-
containing object, so that for each frame of the animation,
exactly one 'frame' of the df3 is in the object...hmm
