Subject: NEC-2 FORTRAN Sources available
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 1992 11:03:55 -0500


   I have posted the FORTRAN source code for NEC-2 on UCSD.EDU:

   /hamradio/nec-2.f

   It's available for anonymous FTP thanks to Brian Kantor's efforts.

   A few notes:

       1. This is FORTRAN-77 source code, with some VAX specific
          modifications. I have not tested it (look at my .sig).
                  It's *not* the official NEC-2 source, it's been hacked
                  a bit, but it's pretty close to what was released originally.

       2. There is no documentation with the code except for whatever
          comments are embedded.

       3. It is, as far as I know, public domain, having been developed
          by an agency of the US Gov't. There's no copyright
          statement on the code I received. I got it from a friend of
          a friend (at Purdue Univ, I think).

       4. You're on your own getting it running on your system.

   Documentation:

       The code is documented in two (huge!) manuals, available for
   purchase from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS).
   They're in the phone book in Springfield, Virginia, 22161. Call
   them and ask them about current selling price & shipping info on the
   following two publications (you want both of them):

   NTIS  AD-A075289  NOSC TD-116 Vol 1
                     Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC)
                     - Method of Moments

   NTIS  AD-A075460  NOSC TD-116 Vol 2
                     [same title]

   The above two manuals completely document the code. They contain,
   among other things, a listing of the complete code as released
   (which agrees fairly well with what's archived on UCSD.EDU, but there
   are some differences), theory of operation and instructions for use.

   Help:

       *Please* don't call me for help getting the code running. It's
   not mine and I'm paid by my company to do other things. You're on
   your own. I think it's possible, but it takes a bit of work. I
   have tried & have had some success, but I'm not there yet. If you
   get it running, it would be nice to hear about it.


   73,
   Pete
