%	Multiply a 3 x 3 matrix stored as 9-col array times a vector stores as a 3-col array
%		Created Oct 2, 2000 (Japan)

%		R9		=		The transformation matrix stored as 9-col array with each row a transformation
%		v3		=		The 3-col array of vectors stored as rows
%		vnew	=		A new 3-col array after transformation
