Thanks!  BTW, where did you find it online?

OK.  I'll see about hacking it in.  As a note, biarcs are a special class of
NURBs, so this will be limited, but I will see what needs to be done to extend
it to general NURBs and more than 2 or 3 dimensions.  As a note, NURBs are
generalizable to arbitrary dimensionality.  So, if I can make time to do this
then getting this to work for 5-9 axis work should be no problem.  The only
real issue is wrapping our heads around what the UI interface (if any) looks 
like.

As a further note, I emailed Leto (xemet) about this, but he has not responded
yet.  It may be appropriate to contact him before releasing this unless I
completely rewrite it.

I would like to say again Thank You!  I've been wanting to play with this for
awhile!

  Cheers!
