the best freely available software for this which works under Unix? (I
use Sun's Solaris for 99% of the things I do, including sending this

Hence I'm almost certainly looking for source code in either C, C++ or
Fortran. Anything that works under Linux would almost certainly be
able to be compiled for Solaris without too much effort.
I found this page:

http://www.si-list.net/swindex.html

which has some source. I downloaded one

. . .

Sorry, my knowledge doesn't extend to that of programs suitable for Unix
or Linux. The "Unofficial NEC archives" site is the best I know of for
various compilations. Hopefully some of the other readers can help you out.

Thank you.

My program, EZNEC, has been reported to run under Linux using some
versions of the wine Windows emulator, but not with others. You'll have
a lot more to choose from if you can emulate Windows.

Thanks a lot. I'm just a bit anti-windows myself. Fed up with all the
hassle of viruses etc.

The CPUs in this machine are not even capable or running Windows, as
they are not AMD/Intel compatible.

I do of course have access to Windows machines, and might well check out
your code later. I assume analysing a simple dipole will be trivual and
not require a huge amount of work.

But you have helped me understand the differences in impedance between
the different sets of data I have seen, which was my main concern. For
the immediate future at least, I am not going to do any numerical
analysis, but I might well look at that for a later date.
