Am in a baad mood tooday.


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.

Now I watched the tutorial again and again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AqMq0J3WBc
and after 14:11 he adds a voltage source.
He does a horizontal movement with the cursor on the dipole wire
and only then the 4nec2 will place the voltage source on the dipole.
He does not mention that or explain that move.

This stupid bug -and a program bug that is, and a large one-
this stupid bug has cost me 2 hours of struggling.

Ready for the next bug.
