Channel Driver for Polhemus 3Space Isotrak
------------------------------------------

I had this 3D capture device lying around and figured
I would use it for softimage as an animation input device.
But, the Polhemus driver provided with Softimage doesn't
support it.  So, I wrote my own.

This works pretty well for me for capturing the orientation
of a single object.  I don't use the absolute translation
though it does work.  I used it to capture 3D points once but
the interface in Softimage for doing this is kind of clunky.

For animation capture of a character's head though, this 
works great.

It is set up to be on Com1: at 9600 baud.  Source code is
provided if you want to change this.  Damn simple so you
shouldn't have any problem.  I have tested it on 3.7, 3.7sp1, 
and 3.8 beta.

This is unsupported software but if you have any questions, I
may be able to help.
