        Hi everyone.  I was wondering if someone could tell me whether a
Catmull-Rom spline could be represented by an equivalent NURB.  I have a NURB-
based modeller I am writing but I am currently using Catmull-Rom splines for
paths and would like to change hem to NURBs.  If anybody can help, it will
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  E-mail replies can be sent to any of the
following addresses:

All mail gets forwarded to the third address.  Thanks again.

        I tried mailing you at all three addresses you listed, and they all
bounced.  I also can't traceroute to any of the hosts you listed, which
explains why mail bounces.
        About the spline question you had: I'm afriad this is a request, not
an answer.  I'm working on an animation in Renderman, and I'd like
to use splines for camera motion.  You said you're using C-R splines for
paths in your animation, and that sounds like what I need.  I don't really
want to reinvent the wheel, so if you could mail me a copy of your spline
function, I'd REALLY appreciate it.  I need a function to take a 3-D spline
and an integer 0<=t<=1 that will return a point in 3-D along the spline.
                        Thanks in advance,
