# nec2c(1)

Translation of the NEC2 FORTRAN source code to the C language

## NAME

**nec2c** - Translation of the NEC2 FORTRAN source code to the C language

## SYNOPSIS

**nec2c** \[/-i\<input-file-name\>\] \[/-o\<output-file-name\>\]\[/-hv\]

## DESCRIPTION

The translation was performed mostly "by hand" and a lot of modifications to the original program were introduced in order to modernize the NEC2 and to remove as many built-in limitations as possible. The attendant SOMNEC program was also translated to C and incorporated in nec2c as a function so that Sommerfeld ground solutions are a part of the program.

## OPTIONS

The -i option is always needed and it specifies the name of the input file. The -o switch is optional and it specifies the output file name. If not used, a name for the output file is made by stripping any extensions from the input file name and adding a ".out" extension, e.g. nec2c -i yagi.nec will cause nec2c to read yagi.nec as the input file and produce yagi.out as the output file.
