  You still haven't answered to my warning about security issues.

  Let me put it clear: If you render with pov3.1g anything people send to
you, anyone can do anything he/she likes. It's perfectly possible to, for
example, destroy the entire home directory, get free access for anyone to
your account and so on.

  It can be avoided by filtering the code people send. This, however, may
not be a 100% safe solution since there may be ways of encoding nasty
commands so that they can't be triggered by any filter.

):_;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
