First - I am moving this thread to a more appropriate forum.

Now, as to your question -- PCStitch, although designed specifically for cross-stitch, can be used for ANY craft that uses the graph pattern. It is simply how you interpret the symbols.

It can be used for Indian Beadwork by interpreting each "stitch" as a colored bead.

It can be used for Latch Hook Rugs by interpreting each "stitch" as the piece of yarn to be knotted in a single location.

It can be used for Needlepoint by interpreting each "stitch" as the needlepoint stitch. In fact, in this case, you can define it as the half-cross (and use continental or basketweave stitch) for it. You can show the slanted gobelin stitch by just making "long" backstitch and interpreting them as this kind of stitch.

For crochet, you can use each symbol for a stitch or chain for the fillet crochet you seem to be needing.

If you can graph it, PCStitch can be used. You may have to be a little free in your interpretation of "floss" and ignore the floss amount estimates, but it can easily be used.

Just let your imagination soar for the multiple uses of this product!
