Linkage Design Problem

I'm thinking about a revision on the crab design, but I have a problem. I need a rather complex linkage, but I have no knowledge in vector calculus. The linkage needs to transform a linear force into a 90* arc. Anyone versed in 37 bar linkages?

(Sorry, about the horrible illustration, but Paint isn't my forte')
