Think I might have found something that will work. Just need to run 
things the same as I did in my code, which only handles 4 points at a 
time, so I could, in principle, change points as needed, like if the 
thing got called some place else, while wandering.

But, this is what annoys the hell out of me with technical papers. They 
give what I think may be the final equation for the first two classes of 
xsplines, then, when you get to the final step, the end all be all of 
xsplines, they go, "And, if you have been following along (not a 
chance...), these intermediate formulas (oh, hell...), can be applied to 
derive the final result (how, you bloody egghead?)." Anyway, at least I 
know what I am looking for now, so should be able to find "something". lol
