Knotopt = topologically-flexible, coil-design algorithm for knotatrons!

[Stellarators and tokamaks (hereafter referred to as unknotatrons) have a magnetic axis in the shape of a circle, which is a special class of knot called an "unknot".]
  1. A detailed description of all subroutines etc. is given below.
  2. Please direct questions/suggestions to Stuart Hudson, shudson@pppl.gov, subject=Knotopt.
  3. Subroutines from Oculus are used.
