Which doesn't seem very interesting, except that the left-hand matrix
doesn't have to be 4x4 - it can have any number of rows.  So you could • load
all the data from a subfile into a 4xn matrix, do a multiply against the
transformation matrix, and get a 4xn matrix as the result.

I've got that sorted now, next on the cards is to implement hidden surface
removal - maybe I should give in and implement som OpenGL or DirectX
handling :(   I've been relying too much on API calls and not enough on
basic maths, and at my age I'm finding it hard to remember all my University
courses (believe it or not I did a geometric modelling course, but I've
forgotten the whole lot in the past few years while wallowing in the
simplicity of database programming).
