Adobe Illustrator is your best bet. Select the curve, add a whole batch of points and then convert the whole thing to straight lines instead of curves.

I think you've misunderstood me. I already have the series of lines but I want to reduce them to a series of curves

Ahhh that is quite a bit more complicated. Youll have to redraw them with a bezier curve tool (Illustrators Pen Tool). No program is going to recognize a series of lines as a whole curve and convert it automatically.

This question may be in the wrong section but its probobally the most suitable.<br />

I have a series of short lines that form a curve (it happens to be a Bezier curve). Can anyone tell me, or at least point me in the right direction, how to <br />
generate a series of arcs based on these lines so that the curve is made up of a series of arcs. (The idea being that if the Bezier curve is made up of say 1000 lines it may be reduced to being represented by say 100 arcs).

Creating Bezier curves

Websites use graphics to enhance information, assist navigation, and generally improve the user’s experience. To create those graphics, developers use any number of programs, like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Flash have their own topics), the CorelDraw suite, Xara, Gimp, ACDSee, Serif, ULead and others.
