Task:-
to apply a translation array to an array
of 3D vertex coordinates to produce the
resulting location of each vertices.

Translation array and vertex coordinates taken from
a Truespace COB file.

The text in the COB file looks like this:-

Am I going in the right direction?
What do I do with the result? :)
