Numerical Electromagnetics Code-2

The implementation of the NEC-2 code in this package accepts free form input with fields separated by white space instead of rigid fixed format input used in older versions.

The rules for the free format input are as follows one blank space, or a comma.
1) First two columns must contain the type of CARD e.g. CE
2) Subsequent columns must be separated by either, at least
3) Scientific notation can be used for specifiying REAL valued quanties.
4) Decimal points may be omitted or used as desired. For example
(Integer Expected)3232.translates to 3232
(Real Expected)1213translates to 1213.
(Real Expected)12E-3 translates to 12.E-3
The original NEC-2 code was documented by a three volume set of manuals, the first describing the theory of the EFIE and MFIE boundary element method with point collocation used by NEC-2 (commonly called `method of moments'). The second volume provides a typescript listing of the original fortran code. The third volume, the user manual is the basis for the HTML format manual included within this distribution.
