Hello!

I want to generate some animated sequences where celestial bodies move
around each other. Since it would be much work to code all the necessary
calculations within POV I'd prefer to read the positions (translations
in <x,y,z>) from a file previously calculated with a powerful
ephemeris-calculator. Is there a possibility to open a file and within
each new frame read in a new set of coordinate-values, etc. from an
ASCII-file instead of calculating all needed values within POV?

Rainer.
