If you like, I can translate a short Pi generator into POV SDL that will
give about 700 digits before it gets overflow errors. On a related note, I
posted a POV scene file a few months back that can calculate e to millions
of digits. I'll repost it if you like.

PS. Nice concept. Years ago, I wrote a PostScript program to print pi in an
exponential spiral, and I've recently been thinking of converting it
(somehow) into POV SDL.
