Oops sorry for the delay on the response. I've been a bit lazy and not
done much except work and enjoying the summer. :-)

You might want to check out Dan Lanciani's X10d, I have a version that
should compile on my web page (see below) if not there are several
other peices of software that will do the same thing (like Heyu). All
the links are on my comast page (it's a non-commercial page) and the
source code is avilable for each project. At least it will help you to
understand at best it will do exactly what you want.
