It wasn't too easy either...  I took me a sheet of paper and a fair 
amount of cursing before I remembered enough of my maths to figure it 
out.  It's just too easy to sound glib and self satisfied when you've got 
the answer sitting in front of you while you compose the posting to the 
NG :)

Having a copy of Moray to display and verify the transformations didn't 
hurt either <grin>

Oh, and I did a quick scene with 3200 cubes rotated at .1 degree 
intervals, but got bored waiting for it to render :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
