     This may not be the best place to post this but here it goes..

        I am currently using an Iris 2400 (soon to be upgraded to
     a turbo) without Z-buffering (but may have soon) and I am 
     looking for any information, algorithms, programs, so on and
     so forth on the teselation and/or knitting of contours in 3D
     to form solid surfaces and wire frames.  The data is piped in
     as planes of contours (several to a plane).  Any information
     as to acheive this in the most efficient manner (or any manner
     for that) would be most appreciated.  If there is a better news
     group to post this I would also appreciate knowing that.

                  Thanks in advance,
                            Paul Connally
