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 ============================================================================== Peter Simpson (508) 870-9837 voice Data General Corp.
