This is a computer program that I wrote in 1986 and updated it for the next 10 years. Then with the changes in printers and technology the program no longer ran the way I wrote it. Brian Kidd offered to update the program so it would run on modern computers that are windows based.
This program generates the run list of overs and unders for tying selected Turks Head Knots (Casa Knot), and interweaves into them. Along with Gaucho, Headhunters and Custom Gaucho Knots (Column Coded Knot).
