[NSRCA-discussion] Program for generating Aresti Sequences

[Duane Beck]

I've used One Letter Aerobatic Notation (OLAN) before.  It takes a bit 
of practice to learn the letters that represent figure components, but 
you can type out Aresti sequences pretty quickly.  When I tried it, it 
only had figures in the Aresti catalog, so takeoff and landing had to be 
kludged a bit.

You need to install .NET Framework 2.0, and I recall the application may 
have been a little tricky to install.
