3-D curve

I will be cross-posting this to sci.math.symbolic.  Sorry if this is a repeat.

The data consists of a list of 3-D points.  What I would like to obtain is a 3-D curve.

In the case of 2-D points, this is obtained most easily using Interpolation,
which generates a spline curve through the points.  Also, the package 

Spline.m by John Novak would work, allowing far more variability in the parameters
of the splines.

Does there already exist a routine which generates 3-D splines in Mathematica?
