Craig Illman sent me a neat excel program to post on the wiki.  The wiki will not accept the program, I think because of the embedded macros.  If any of you are "excel masters", perhaps you can convert the program to something the wiki will accept.

The program determines the amount of horizontal pull necessary to lift the rode off the bottom resulting in a vertical pull out force on the anchor.  Inputs are rode length, type, and kellet use.

Unfortunately I can't post it here either.  If anyone would like a copy send me an email or PM.

I don't know how (or if) the wiki checks file types or contents, but one thing you may consider is putting it in a "zip" file and uploading that.  On most Windows machines, you can do this by right clicking on the spreadsheet and selecting "Send to" and "Compressed (zipped) folder."

How about just making a PDF file out of it?

It's a tool that figures out the answer depending on input.  A snapshot of one result is interesting, but does not show it's full potential.
