Sorry, there is no EZNEC version for Linux. The last report I got was

The versions in Ubuntu Edgy and Debian Etch both hang at the splash
screen. I asked on the Wine mailing list, but nothing helpful turned
up. I can run it under VMWare - slow on my machine -, or I can use the
kids' Windows game computer. But the gap between their bedtime and
mine is closing.

The Wine people are interested in fixing bugs, but they need info from
app developers. Roy, would you be interested in working with them, if
I can get a Wine developer interested?

What toolkit do you use?

The person who reported the problems posted them on the appropriate
newsgroup but as far as I know got no response. The primary problem is
that the manual can't be viewed under wine, and the last thing I want is
to have the program functional but the manual not functional. Only when
that problem is fixed will I address any others. The manual is created
with RoboHelp v. 7, and although getting pretty old now, it's always
worked on all Windows systems as well as under Mac emulators. The manual
is EZW4.hlp with EZW4.cnt, which are installed with the EZNEC demo
program and freely available for analysis by anyone who's interested.

This isn't the appropriate newsgroup for this discussion, so we should
take this discussion off-line for any followup.
