Hello Ron and Antennas List members,

Ron asked if there was a program that ran under Linux / *nix that could
display nec files.

I have found the one that I use:  xnec2c

For more details see:

http://www.qsl.net/5b4az/

Kamel Mostafa has published a Private Package Archive (PPA) for Ubuntu here:

https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/ubuntu/xnec2c

A youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgYfU7wghso
Part 1 is missing but ii is locally mirrored here: http://ai4qr.com/

Windows has the files here:  http://www.qsl.net/4nec2/

Arch Linux has xnec2c in AUR.

1 aur/xnec2c 3.2-1 (6)
    GTK+ Antenna EM Modeling Client
2 aur/xnecview 1.36-1 (0)
    X-windows NEC Antenna simulator

W5NA mentions that the program has a converter to convert from EZNEC to
4nec2 type files.

Maybe the answer is there, I haven't found the converter, but it is said to
exist.
