/ Abstract
We report new results which establish that the accurate 3dimensional numerical simulation of generic single-black-hole spacetimes has been achieved by characteristic evolution with unlimited long term stability. Our results cover a selection of distorted, moving and spinning single black holes, with evolution times up to 60,000M. 04.25.Dm,04.30.Db
