ic ic.

I am suggesting, instead of maintaining a copy of the editor, why not use
other open source project for it. (adapting or modifying it)

writing an editor to me is an art by itself.

or looking at it at another way, is it possible to allow other application
to hook up with the POV-Ray, writing an interface like to monitor the
updating status of the render, capabilities so that like I can use my
favour editor, but at the same times access to some information in regards
to the render.
