Rambling babble.

As we all now have at our fingertips undreamed-of computer power than
that existing when LLL first developed their NEC, perhaps the way forward
for those with a genuine technical interest, (not CB-types with
their off-the-shelf rigs) to produce their own piece-wise approximation
software to rival EZ-NEC. (But I doubt that those who fire off abusive
remarks would have such a capability)

There is no such thing as EZ-NEC.

NEC does not do "piece-wise approximation".

Increased computer power means nothing more than the ability to solve
complex problems in less time.

The validity of the mathematics used by NEC engines was established a
long time ago.
