Hi again Dwayne,
I am a bit out on a limb here, but it seems what you are missing in the
picture is an understanding of *rotation matrices*. These are indeed a magic
key, but are not easy to grasp - at least that is the case with me. I've
only learned about them recently - thanks to Kevin Clague. I'll contact you
via email about it.

You should definitely set this project up in a website - you never know
where help might come from.

As you know, I am intrigued by the possibilities of "parallel" libraries.

You're struggling to bring your project together - same happens with
everyone else here ;-D
