are there any include files/macros for povray 3.5 for producing random dot
stereograms?

thanks for any info

To make a RDS you need to create a depth map, which you can do
with POV-Ray. Basically, you define all the objects in you scene as
a union, then apply a texture consisting of a z-gradient with white at
the front, and black at the back. The resulting image is then used in
one of many programs that generate the dot pattern.

Do you have any recommendations for dos/windows programs?

It has been so long that I would need to do a google search :-(
However, Batronyx has done what you asked. He is making
SIS (Single Image Stereograms) using a pigment function in
POV-Ray!

Examples are in povray.binaries.images and the code has been
posted in povray.binaries.scene-files.

Thank you Batronyx!

Also, if you are not familiar with making a depth map with
POV-Ray you can find an excellent tutorial authored by
Rune:
