Have a better day.


Sorry, bad mood again.
Watched the tutorials on Youtube.
Remarkably he starts loading an antenna and then deleting the elements
to get a blank builder screen.
The 4nec2 cannot start with a "new" file, it must load something from
before. Only then I may select NEW. This is a bug.

I copied the moves from the tutorial on my NEW antenna,
and I cannot place a source on the dipole. Does not work.
No error message, nothing.
So I will load some old antenna, delete everything and try again
as shown in the tutorial.

Within 5 minutes of work I have a list of 5 errors,
program errors, repectively bugs, mis-leading the user.
Can't type as fast as the bugs occur, I just described only one.
Of course I have no right to complain because it's free.
Yeah.
