Thanks for the offer. It sounds like I can make use of parameters that Lars has
already implemented if I just change my outputs slightly, so I think I'll go
that route. If you've already got the code or pseudo-code lying around, I'd
like to take a look at it, though. I'm guessing it's more accurate than my
arbitrary tweaking of my vectors to make them perpendicular.
