Never heard of KnotPlot before.

However, in a stunning coincidence, today I did a search on Google 
[relating to knot theory], and I unded up reading a paper on drawing 
knots. And about half way through the introduction, I find that this 
paper was written by the author of something called KnotPlot...

...so I guess by the time I finish all 250+ pages, I'll know all about 
it! :-D
