Hello!

You can have a look at the free package CurvesGraphics

http://www.dimi.uniud.it/gorni/Mma/

It is written for pre-6 versions of Mathematica.
I have updated only part of it so far for version 6.

For the 3D arrows you will also need DrawGraphics, which
is not free.

Good luck,
Gianluca Gorni
