Does anyone know of a retaining wall program that is set up to analyze dry stack stone walls? Thanks.

Good luck finding a program since a classic dry stone wall is more of a craft or art, unless it is a high wall where the geotech/soils engineer can provide reinforcement for a reinforced soil block behind a stone veneer the the stone protects.
Some of the many retaining wall computer programs provided by the SRW block manufacturers/licensers could be used if you understand the parameters and the soil conditions for a high wall (6' to 40'). - You will have to find a way to created and anchorage for geo-grid to the dry stack wall veneer that has unknown shear strength.

Are you looking for something to design the rock wall itself? If so, I agree with it being more of an art or craft. Anything more slender than 2:1 (height to thickness) might be asking for trouble.
