I posted a link to this earlier. The issue with Aresti 9.0 is that it 
will not let you draw many of the pattern figures. Base figures like 
Triangle loops, etc. simply do not exist. I tried just drawing the 
Advanced and Intermediate sequences with it and just could not. And it 
is not because it is new to me, I have been using the Aresti software 
for several years.

But Ed is right, it is way cool. I've written Alan to ask if it is 
possible to fine tune it for pattern/FAI use. I'll let you know what he 
has to say.
