Thanks for that. I had a read of it, along with a couple of similar pages people suggested, and I came up with what I thought was good code, but it's not working properly. Perhaps someone with a better mathematical mind than me could take a look and spot where I've gone wrong.
It has a dash of TV and a dash of BMax but it should all be pretty readable whatever language/API you use. I've included all the important related functions and left out a couple of functions which I know are working perfectly and aren't related to this particular calculation anyway. ( For instance, PointInTri is definitely working and bears no correlation to the transformation from texture spsace to world space anyway.
