As a matter of fact!

We are working on a product which will do a number of things. It will provide a
'wrapper' for the NEC code, giving the user a Graphical User Interface to the
code; provide an interface between NEC and a CAD program like AutoCAD; and
provide facilities for visualizing the output. The product we are working on is
designed to work not only with NEC, but also GEMACS, SINDA (a heat transfer
program), SPICE (a circuit simulation program), and other simulation programs.

Versions for the PC and UNIX workstations are being developed.

Estimated time of release is October of next year.

Thank you kindly,
Bob
