Does anybody know of a way, short of modifying the sourcecode, to increase
the numerical precision that pov ray uses.

For example say I need to calculate 1/3 to the 100th decimal place. I
believe it goes upto maybe the 8th or sixteenth place?

Is there some ini option that can do this?

What about declaring the value as you want it.
i.e. instead of writing
#declcare my_var = 1/3;

declare it as
#declare my_var = 0.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333;

Would this do anything or would it truncate after a certain decimal spot?
