No kidding… Now I kick myself in the behind when I'd actually like to put
that knowledge to work. Although I can't see POV-Ray on an Apple IIe, can you?
(I guess that dates me pretty well, eh?)
Eric seems to have come up with a nice approximation for the acceleration
magnitude, now, what will I do about direction… I guess that approximation
will be used for each component, really, so I should just be able to add 'em
up.
I know someone here at work that is an aviator. I bet he'd be intrigued by
this…

What exactly do you mean by oversampling in this case? Acceleration along the
SPLINE I end up using may be a bit too much work for what I want to do here,
but I may be hard-pressed to come up with anything realistic and interesting
without it.
Thanks for your suggestions…
