Just a quick one... Would it be possible to get POV-Ray to read/write binary
files? (As opposed to plain text?)

I think I remember seeing  character <==> ASCII code conversion functions
somewhere in the docs... POV-Ray doesn't do anything weird to the ASCII
codes you ask it to write does it? (Like LF -> CR/LF conversions and stuff.)

Why am I asking? Well, not content with making a microprocessor emulator
with the SDL, I'm now thinking about making a sound synthesiser, so I want
to be able to write .WAV files (which are of course binary!) I'm planning to
make an animation, and I want POV-Ray to synthesise the soundtrack...

Thanks.
Andrew.
