Well, it's not so simple. Suppose the y vector is pointing in the direction
of the torus axis. Then for each value of (x,z), you may have 0, 1 or 2
values for y. See?

  Anyway, I'll think about it and post the best answer I find tonight or
tomorrow. Should I forget, will you please remind me?

Roland.
