Submitting Your Extension

KnotTheory` is a computer program written in an unrestricted language. Meaning that a vicious programmer could use it to do harmful things to the computer running it. Therefore unlike much of the rest of the Knot Atlas, it can be modified directly only by the administrators of this site. If you aren't one, email your extension/modification to Dror. Dror will read through it quickly to confirm that it's not malicious and doesn't do anything obviously wrong and post it in the Setup section of this manual. Thanks!
