Yes, it does. The GP command allows one to specify an infinite ground
plane in the x-y plane. It can be a PEC plane or a (lossy) dielectric
half-space.

The SM command allows one to incorporate current elements generated by
NEC2 or NEC4 into NEC-BSC.

Yes. Two, in fact: xpdf and acroread. The latter is available from
the Adobe web site.

Yes. In general, the best place to look for such things is the
Scientific Applications on Linux web site,
http://sal.kachinatech.com/. Note that over 2000 software packages
are available for Linux now, many of which are sci/eng apps.

The US$300 covers postage, handling, and duplication. OSU/ESL makes
it clear that the development costs have already been borne by the
sponsors of the code (DoD, NASA).
If one wants a Linux version, or a version for some other UNIX platform,
one should probably contact Ron Marhefka first. He's very friendly and
accomodating towards such requests.
If one wants a Windows 95/NT version of the code (why? :-), one could
probably just contact the OSU/ESL Librarian.
