Subject: NEC executables on the net

It appears that there are some new subscribers to the list who
may not be familiar with the NEC material currently available on the
net.

The following list shows what is currently available on
ftp.netcom.com/pub/ra/rander/NEC (and also mirrored on
ftp.emclab.umr.edu/pub/aces/NEC).

(Added note: there are several international addresses with MiniNec
and NEC information. Try ftp.funet.fi as an example. RPH)

If anyone has additions and/or updates for the archives let me
know at [e-mail] .

wiregrid.zip    WIREGRID is a NEC2 pre-processor for DOS PC's that
        was developed for modelling metallic structures using
         a mesh of wires. It has powerful automatic facilities
        for controlling the density of the mesh once the structure
        has been broken down into a number of polygons. It can
        also be used as a general NEC2 pre-processor. It was
        originally written by C.F. du Toit. Note that the code
        uses its own data format, and unfortunately CANNOT import
        an existing NEC2 model file, but it can of course export
        the model to a standard ASCII file. A description of the
        pre-processor has been accepted for publication: "WIREGRID:
        A NEC2 preprocessor", C.F.du Toit & D.B.Davidson, Applied
        Computational Electromagnetic Society (ACES) Journal.
        (To appear.)  A draft version of the paper (minus
        illustrations) is contained in the ZIPfile. The code was
        compressed using PZKIP version 2.04g.

nec_examples.txt
        This collection of NEC2 input data files is provided
        courtesy of the Internet and Raymond Anderson. These input
        files may be used for the NEC-PC programs, I've tried them
        on both, but have been using NEC2D primarily. NEC2D was
        provided by Jozef Bergervoet. I tried to give enough
        examples so that the control cards for input would be self
        explanatory. Also most types of antennas have been included
        such as log periodic, monopole, rhombic, deltaloop, Quad and
        the YAGI. These files are easily adapted and modified with
        the DOS edit function,  using the search and replace features.
        Good Luck on your antenna designs- Clyde Edgar WA6DCM

        documentation, as well as a sample output file
        and a brief text file containing a general discussion
         of the program.The SOMNEC program generates grids used by
                the NEC2 program for the Sommerfeld-Norton approximation
                to realistic grounds.

gamtoz.zip
                GAMTOZ is a program to convert MicroSmith .GAM files (such as
                produced by ELNEC and EZNEC as well as by MicroSmith) to comma-
                delimited files containing impedance values. Both source code
                (GAMTOZ.BAS) and a compiled (DOS) version (GAMTOZ.EXE) are
                included. (This copy virus free!)

lpcad.zip       LPCAD is a program to design log-periodic antennas. Antenna
        specifications are input and the program calculates the
        physical lengths and spacings. A NEC or NEC for Wires input
        file is then automatically created. lpcad.zip unzips to
        produce LPCAD1.EXE and BRUN30.EXE.
