Default Antenna programming tool/language/compiler/preprocessor?

Again,

my intention is, not to re-invent the programming language "C". My
intention is, to describe in a prooven language an antenne. I decided
the programming language C, because it is most used language on the
world.

I have not given any name for my language to the pre-processor. Lets
call this as SNEC - just for "Symbolic NEC". The commands for the pre-
processor has similar syntax to the programming language C. But not
exactly the same. It has many limitations.

As an example, I show you one of the source code of a horn antenna for
WLAN. It has three modules. As you can see, the language is as
superset of NEC2 and 4NEC2. It can be adapted easily to any other
antenne defining formats. If the pre-processor detects an unknowing
command, it will do nothing. Just taking the line of code and writing
to output file. A special set of commands will be interpreted by the
pre-processor. It will translate it into the 4NEC2/NEC2 commands.
That is all. It is a very simple language, but you can design very
complex antenna model with few lines of "code".
The output file has a lot of kilobytes of code! It will split surface
patches into many segments or wires. The main module is Horn1.txt.
