function openc3d(itf, getoption, fname)
% OPENC3D - loads a C3D file into the C3DServer domain.
% 
% USAGE: openc3d(itf, getoption*, fname*)
%        * = not a necessary input
% INPUTS:
%   itf      = variable name used for COM object
%   getoption= 1 for Windows dialog, other than 1 to enter filename as arg3
%   fname    = filename, with or without path and c3d extension
%
%   Note: openc3d will handle 'fname' with or without the 
%   '.c3d' extension.  'fname' must be entered with directory 
%   path unless current MATLAB path is where the file is located.

%   C3D directory contains C3DServer activation and wrapper Matlab functions.
