This link will allow you to down load a small utility called Sparks.
It's intended to be used as a lightening generating program. The file
size I believe is around 50k and this is the only thing I know of that
is specificaly designed for this purpose.

If you want to check out the web page first use this link:

Glad you liked it. I found another one for you that is straight Pov.
It is in Pov v3.0 format and may require a little bit of work to
make it compatible with v3.1. The only thing you will likely have to
change is to add a simi colon after all of the declared variables
in the file. An example would be:

#declare MM = 0.01

change to

#declare MM = 0.01;

It is actually a .zip file. You need to save to disk and then open with
an unzipping program and you chould have no problem. If you still have
problems let me know and I'll send you a copy.

Actually, pvengine only generates a warning for this. It still works fine. I
usually get lots of warnings due to this just because I've got a bad habit.

  It may slow down the parsing if you have the incorrect #declare inside
a loop, specially if the loop runs hundreds or thousands of times. Outputting
hundreds or thousands of lines of text is slow.
