I implemented a marching cubes algorithm which decomposes each cube
into 5 tetrahedrons.  As Bradley Payne says, there are no ambiguities.
My implementation is public domain (but I dont know whether it is
different enough from the patented marching cubes algorithm to not
infringe).  You can get the code from NCSA DataSlice by anonymous ftp
to ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
