loading and rendering 3ds keyframes

After much browsing around google, I still have yet to find a 3ds loader or an example, that explains how to load keyframe information from a 3ds file, and play/render the animation.
Has anyone done this? Does anyone know where I can find an example?

thanx,

Whenever I'm in need of a description of a seemingly undocumented file format, I go to www.wotsit.org. I've only worked with Maya files, so any other help I can give would only be speculation.

ok, thanx!
