Apologies for the newbie question.

What is the easiest way of converting from a direction vector to a
quaternion / 4x4 matrix?
Having migrated from WorldToolKit to Performer I was hoping for some
conversion functions, but there don't seem to be any.

Presumably this is because it's so elementary I should know how to do it!

Thanks in anticipation of your help (and lack of flaming!)
