For Windows, I am not sure. Try redirecting the output and error streams
to files, then parse these files (with Perl for instance), or try with pipes.
For DOS, the probability of this being possible is increased. For Linux,
it becomes 100 %. For other systems, I do not know. Anyway, you can still use
the DOS command-line version of POV (which even renders faster than the Windows
one), and parse the output files.

Happy ray-tracing,

Roland.
